Yes. Many people have mentioned Rackspace in this regard (mostly in the Version 2 Group, probably). Rackspace seem to use a small number of external IP addresses, and the quota for each is quickly used by the sites they host. Google could whitelist Rackspace's ip addresses, but it's up to them whether they do or not. Your request from your browser uses your ip address, not your server's, so you have a fresh quota to play with. Moral: always try and farm out geocoding to the client browser. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
