Issue with Upstream servers & GeoIP

[Alex]

Maxinm -

Thank you for your answer!  It is not a root location issue because if I
am not in the country that is being geotargetted then I can see css, etc.
everything without any problems.

The issue comes when the user is in country XX and sees that page.  If I
look at the error messages on the page I get a lot of 404s for images and
css and js because they can not be found since all css are being served by
the server in country XX and that server does not have it.

I tested this by creating a location with a string that all the images
references contain and point it to be served by the server outside of the
country XX and all images display perfectly.

How can I circumvent this problem?
