But it's the only way of ensuring that the service isn't overloaded.
If the geocoder took note of an X-Forwarded-For header, that header
could easily be spoofed.

Until there is an issue logged for salesforce.com at
http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/list Google are
unlikely to do anything about it -- and even if they do it will only
be to raise the daily quota. They almost certainly won't change the
rate limit. It would be good to list affected public ip addresses in
that issue.

Note that using a platform such as salesforce.com for *hosting* is not
in the same class as using (say) a *client* routed via a mobile
telephony proxy. Google may decide not to cater for such shared
hosting. But you won't know if there is no issue raised.
