GeoIP: anyway to pull out lat/lon?

[Phillip B Oldham]

Looking into that further, the data I've got for lat/lon at city level 
adds up to 120Mb. I could convert this to a geo.conf file using 
geo2nginx.pl, but what sort of impact would this have on nginx running? 
Would each child process take up 120Mb ram? Would nginx slow down for 
each request having to work through such a large data set?
