There are often at least 2 correct answers for GeoIP, sometimes more:
* the physical location of the server,
* the business address of the data centre operator,
* the business address of the owner or reseller of the server.

Some servers and businesses have layers of owner/operator/reseller/
corporate subsidiaries, so it can get very complicated.

I once operated relays that were obviously in Australia (because of
the traceroute and latency), but were geolocated to the US, because
their reseller was in the US.
