IPv6 GeoIP databases do not automatically update
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The IPv6 GeoIP database [1] on stat1 and stat1002 does not automatically get
updated, which may result in wrong geocoding of IPv6 requests.

Newer databases are available at

http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoIPv6.dat.gz

Note that the file size for the newer databases is considerable smaller
than file size for the old database (down from 5MB to 1MB). Maxmind says
that this is ok, as the IPv6 data contains the IPv4 data, and the file
size for IPv4 has been reduced.
