For the record on this one, it seems that our version of the geoip
database does not do a proper lookup for IP addresses in the 60.50.50.50
(as an example IP of that range).

What I get is unknown (with our current version).  When unknown, it
passes a list of high bandwidth machines.

I will get and build a newer version of the GeoIP database and see if I
can get a better result.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
