ip-lookup.net currently returns error: "Unknown MySQL server host 'sql5' (1) (#connect) in file /home/monsitep/_pro/_internet/ip-lookup.net/inc/functions.inc.php in line 215." I suppose that means geo blocking is not working.

One has nothing to do with the other.

GeoBlocking is implemented with the MaxMind GeoLite database data downloaded and stored on your site and read with code running on your site.

The IP lookup service is just that: a quick way to get more information about an IP on your browser. It's just a handy tool to see the reverse DNS of an IP and its rough location. It is not used by Admin Tools to take any decision. You can also change it, per our documentation. Go to Configure WAF, Logging and reporting and set the IP Lookup Service. For example you could use
whatismyipaddress.com/ip/{ip}
to use a different service which works just as fine :)
