Hey Guys, Thanks for the quick responses.
We're using the HTTP interface. So does that mean our "key" has been blocked? Theoretically, if we switched our "key", would it start working again? I tried switching keys when we first encountered the problem, and that didn't seem to fix it, so that made me wonder if it was IP based. I know for certain we're not exceeding our daily limit, and I don't think we're exceeding the rate limit. The strangest part is it was working fine for months and months, and suddenly went out. We didn't make any system changes or haven't seen an increase in traffic, so that's the curious part. We're hosting on the Rackspace Cloud Sites, and we should have our own assigned IP so that shouldn't be an issue. We've been with them for the past 6 mo's or so without incident. I'll talk to them again about it. Mike, can you give a little more clarification on: >In such circumstances you can use other pages that use geocoding, but >nobody can use geocoding on your page. Thanks again for the help.
