    Hi,

     

    For all I know, there is no way to do this in there.

     

    But you can reply a page, based on geolocation using iRule.

     

    Have you any experience with iRule?

     

    Maybe it helps you:

    Geolocation db can only be utilized to make a load balancing decision and you can't insert it into header (or webpage) as per licensing terms. I am not sure if this has changed. You may want to check with F5 to make sure you aren't breaking any licensing terms.

    Hello,

     

    As Odaah said, you could run afoul of the license by displaying the data in messages. Please check the page https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/irules.whereis.ashx for information about the GeoIP database. I believe you could contact your account team about getting a waiver that may allow extended use of the feature, aside from load balancing/request routing decisions.

     

    Thanks, Josh
