This code looks related:

    /* only report it to the geoip module if it's not a known router */
    if (!router_get_by_id_digest(chan->identity_digest)) {
      if (channel_get_addr_if_possible(chan, &remote_addr)) {
        geoip_note_client_seen(GEOIP_CLIENT_CONNECT, &remote_addr,
                               now);
