Problem

You have a Django site using GeoDjango with Postgres and PostGIS and want to take a backup copy of your production database and restore it on a different server with a different owner.

Customers in the UK use a stockrecord from a UK partner, customers from the US use a stockrecord from a US partner etc. We use IP lookup to determine which stockrecord is appropriate for a customer (this is the Meridian problem).
