Don't worry about it, found and fixed that bug ... it had to do with 
trying to masquarade behind haproxy, so it looked like all systems were 
coming in from Panama if they were running the newest code ... which means 
alot of ppl out there were running *old* code ...

Basically, by setting up haproxy to load balance, all IPs hitting the 
backend were, as mentioned before, masquaraded ... but, of course, that 
means that when Geo::IP trying to determine country of origin, it always 
reports for the country of origin of the haproxy IP (Panama) ...

I've fix this ... still not recording IP, but at least the PHP script 
determing country basis it on the proper IP, not the haproxy IP ...

No changes required on the client side, as things will normalize over the 
course of the next month as ppl report in ...

If anyone on FreeBSD wishes to 'force an update':

   /usr/local/etc/periodic/monthly/300.statistics -nodelay

will push it through ...
