Hi,

I am trying to configure GeoDNS. I have build the geoDNS from source and downloaded GeoLite2.mmdb databases under '/usr/share/GeoIP/', I have specified the same directory under geodns.conf.

When I run the server with -checkconfig=true, I am getting my zone does not configure with Geo Provider. I have set targets in my zone file.

Please let me know what could be the problem and also verify my zone config and let me know will this configuration works?

@praveenkumar2608 commented on GitHub (Sep 12, 2020):

@abh Thanks for your quick reply. It was permission issue for the .mmdb files. Now this is working like a charm. One other problem I could see is the chained CNAME is not resolving to the IP address.

Also, say for an example if I a CNAME which I want to associate to multiple regions like (IN-TN, IN-KA, IN_AP, IN-KL), I couldn't find the option. I have to create individual CNAME for each region like mentioned below. Is there a way to change the associate a cname to a list of regions.

},
"accl.karnataka": {
"cname": "insouth-test.praveentest.com.",
