Function to Collect Geographic Coordinates for IP-Addresses

I added the function IPtoXY to theBioBucket-Archives which collects geographic coordinates for IP-addresses.
It uses a web-service at http://www.datasciencetoolkit.org// and works with the base R-packages.

# System time to collect coordinates of 100 IP-addresses:
> system.time(sapply(log$IP.Address[1:100], FUN = IPtoXY))

    (111) Connection refused

    Maybe you know why...

    Thanks

    1. ..I just tried it and it seems as if the server is down - I expect this to be a temporary problem.
