Title: Add support for custom GeoIP servers for IP geocoding

I had a need on a recent project for an IP geocoding service that was higher traffic than the FreeGeoIP service would allow by their TOS, so I ended up running my own GeoIP service using the free MaxMind data and implementing a lookup for it. Figured I'd submit a pull request back in case anyone else finds it useful.

A reference implementation for the server is at https://github.com/JackDanger/geoip_server.
