I renamed it and rebooted. Named is working normally,
so I got away with it.
What are you using bind (named) to do? The GeoIP database is used to resolve
(to the best of publically-available data) IP addresses to geographical
location. Bind can use that information to, for example, give
country-specific answers (so you could direct customers to a local server).
See
https://kb.isc.org/docs/aa-01149
As might be implied, the "-City" database resolves to that level. If that's
not necessary, you can use the much smaller "-Country" one. Or, if you
don't
use either... well, you don't need either.
