Hi Adam,

 

 

I don't think the license for the GeoIP database allows for this unless you're just using the header information to log:

It is a direct violation of the EULA to use F5’s data to embed geolocation information or codes representing geolocation information into the requests such that another application or server could make the decision on what to do with that data. Customers wishing to use geolocation data on their webservers or in their applications to make decisions in those products can purchase geolocation data from Quova.
