[mod-security-users] Geo location lookup multiple rules

[homesh j. <ho...@gm...>]

Hi All,

I have multiple virtual host entries in apache

in each virtual host I have rule like this

SecGeoLookupDb /etc/modsecurity/maxmind4.dat
SecRule REMOTE_ADDR "@geoLookup"
"phase:1,log,chain,id:2,drop,msg:'Geolocation Blocked'"
SecRule GEO:COUNTRY_CODE "@pm CN PE IR"

My query is the line SecGeoLookupDb /etc/modsecurity/maxmind4.dat present
in each virtual host. Is it required in each or can I define it once
globally. will it cause apache to load the file multiple times in memory or
it will load only once.

Please suggest.

Thanks,
Homesh
