Google geocode requests limitation

I misunderstood and thought the geocode limitation was 15,000 per site but it appears instead that it is actually that many geocode requests per 24 hour period per IP that Google allows. Link: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/faq.html#geocoder_limit

 

It also states that if excessive geocoder usage occurs that Google may block access from the offending IP address permantently.

Alejandro, is Geomaps coded so that it times geocode requests to Google so as to not be too 'noisy'? See the below link (Timing the Geocode Requests):

On a related note, the above page also talks about "Changing the Base Country". As my site will be focused specifically on Japan, can you tell me what file I should edit to set the MAPS_HOST to "maps.google.co.jp"? Thanks.
