To explain a bit more, it would seem that I was affected by the things
`UtraceHostGeoLookup` warns of: "you get blacklisted and requests may time
out, or return none." Things are back to normal again, for now at least. I saw
a lot of logging like this:
```
2014-09-09 16:41:56,775 DEBUG b.l.geo.UtraceHostGeoLookup [..]: Geo info
lookup for 127.0.0.1/127.0.0.1 at http://xml.utrace.de/?query=86.185.34.72
...
2014-09-09 16:43:12,130 DEBUG b.l.geo.UtraceHostGeoLookup [..]: Geo info
lookup for 127.0.0.1/127.0.0.1 failed: java.net.ConnectException: Operation
timed out
```
The repeat minute and a half's delay encumbered Brooklyn significantly. A
build with tests would never finish. The web console and REST API were unusable.
@ahgittin Your change looks fair. Longer term I think we want to load the
data in the background like `LocalhostExternalIpLoader`.
