App Engine & Google Geocoding Service II

This issue comes and goes in this thread all the time.
I also suggested in the past to delegate the job to the client since I
could't see a scenario where we use server side request and be within
the TOR's.
see here : http://gaengine.blogspot.com/2010/05/google-maps-api-quotas-and-app-engine.html
I was wrong. Recently I run into a case where I had to do this and
still I am sure I am within legal limits, this is so when you need the
geolocation service in order to publish a static map served from
Google.
So this is a real problem and the issue has to be resolved somehow,
although I think we are discussing this in the wrong group. IMO that
this is an issue for the maps group and we should adress it there.
Happy coding:-)

Update :For an alternative solution you can take a look here.
