Just an FYI - the script has been updated tonight to make use of
specified coordinates, when they are available.  It is also now giving
the location name based on the FQDN of the listed servers, rather than
relying on GeoIP for a city/region.  This should help prevent any
confusion over the location of the listed servers.

And one last change - I rewrote some existing code so that I am
generating the geographic locations once every 5 minutes, and the
website is querying from the static file instead of trying to generate
geographic data every single time a person visits the website.  This
makes the queries happen *much* faster now, and should eliminate the
chance of this being a bottleneck is the website gets a lot of traffic.
