2.2.16.1 Lookup

2.2.16.2 Reload database

Choose this option to reload the geolocation data. This process may take several hours, depending upon the data set being used, the server capacity, and database performance. When it completes, it will indicate that it is finished. Note that the reload will create new geolocation tables and then replace the existing ones with the new tables. Thus, despite how long it takes to complete, any existing geolocation data will still be available for use as the reload process takes place.

2.2.16.3 Local IP settings

Choosing this option will allow you to specify what geolocation data will be returned for local IP addresses (such as 127.0.0.1). This is used when users on an internal network will be accessing geolocation data. If local IP settings are not provided, local IP addresses will simply return "no data".
