Maxmind GEOIP - buy database or use their servers for queries?

http://www.maxmind.com/app/web_services#country

anyone just use their servers for GEOIP queries? figure I'd be using less than 200k queries per year, are they reliable for cascade geoip?

I'd just buy the database. I've tried to deal with their service and occasionally network conditions will screw with a query being returned. If everything is local you will never have to sweat it.

If you really need their non-free version, then just buy it - their API servers are slow as shit imo

It's only $12 for the geo-ip country database, right? Might as well buy it, and not worry about their API or servers.

its 20.00 for a ton of inquiries, see if you use them up in a month, if so then perhaps purchase
