Excessive IP Data Fetching

[ansermino]

Expected Behavior

Fetching IP information should happen only when needed. Specifically it should occur when a new peer is found that has not been seen before. This could also be optimized further so that it's only fetched when a new IP address is seen.

Current Behavior

Upon restarting the API we are seeing ~45,000 requests for IP data. It seems that for every peer we are re-fetching the IP data unnecessarily.

Possible Solution

• Fetch IP data for peers we have not seen before
• (Optionally) Fetch iP data for IPs we have not seen before, perhaps by adding a separate db collection for IP data.

We have now exceeded 100,00 requests today. This is definitely an issue that needs to be investigated and addressed. I would recommend it be prioritized to ensure stability of the system in production.
