Bulk geocoding requests

Hi

I have been doing a little project for my work where get a list of several
thousand postcodes, count up the number in each sector, geocode the sectors
and display the totals on a google map.

We only have local addresses so are using less than 20 sectors. The geocoder
on npemap.org.uk  is very fast and this is easy.

I am thinking of making this a website open to all (FOSS etc etc). Clearly
there is some scope for quite a lot of geocoder load and a web api may not be
suitable any more - and the load on this server may become a bit too high in
short bursts.

Is the geocoder available to download, and if so are there any hints for
converting a fastcgi to daemon?

Many thanks

Gavin
