Relying on IP address for geolocation is actually quite ridiculous
though I do realize that many people seem to believe that you can map an
IP address to the physical location of the originator of the data, at
least to the country level, but I suppose some people will sell you
anything.
We haven't seen any problem with logging data so far in our testing.
