Hi Everyone,

We've received an error code 620 on our sites two days this week.
These sites have been live for months now:

http://www.shopbrazos.com
http://www.lowcountrymarketplace.com

And it's only began to happen this week.  We use the geocoding service
on our back end so our sales people can enter in stuff like garage
sales and new businesses.  We also use it on a our crime map on one of
our newspaper websites: http://www.theeagle.com/police/.

We've been scratching our brains over this for days because, even on
on a busy day, across all of our sites, we enter no more than 500
geocoding requests with an average closer to 100.  We've checked all
of our code and nothing appears to be wrong with it, it doesn't seem
like it enters some sort of infinite loop or anything.

We do have a few of theories though,

1) We're on Mosso's (http://www.mosso.com) cluster service, could
other people on our cluster be geocoding excessively and it's blocking
us somehow?
2) Google's terms of service states that geocoding from them must be
used on map.  We handle or geocoding service in a backend so our sales
people can do it.  That portion is not available to the public, but
the maps themselves are on the sites I've listed above.  Could
Google's API see that the geocoding is in a backend not available to
the public and block us?  Is that a possible reason for a status
620?
3) We have a couple of disgruntled employees that have been messing
with us in annoying but ultimately harmless ways.  Could they someone
how spoof our server's IP and geocode from that to the point it gets
us blocked.  (I doubt this is it, but it is a theory.)

Any help is appreciated,
Joe
