There has already been an announce of talk regarding this but I thought I'd bring this to the attention of the dev list especially given the current network problems.
Mapquest have now created an instance of nominatim running on their network infrastructure (which I've been involved in setting up). This instance is rather more powerful than the instance running on nominatim.openstreetmap.org and includes redundant hardware - so although there is no actual service level commitment the hope is to provide a 24/7 service level. There are also no usage limits and the machines should be able to handle a much higher load than the existing server so I encourage you to switch particularly if this is a mission critical service for you. If you want to try it just replace: http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ with http://open.mapquestapi.com/nominatim/v1/ the 2 instances should be completely equivalent, same parameters, same results. Any problems let me know... -- Brian (nominatim developer) _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
