If they were blocking you, you should be getting a code 620.

What you could try to do to demonstrate the problem is to put a small
stand alone PHP file on each server to do geocoding, and post the two
links to the group, so that we can see the problem in action.

That file could be as simple as this:

<?
header('Content-type: text/plain');
$q = urlencode($_GET['q']);
$url = "http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=$q&output=xml";;
print file_get_contents($url);
?>

I can't think of any other way to demonstrate it.
