	I think your issue is more a business model problem than a registry or IP problem.

	What you are saying is that you depend on Maxmind providing the location of your VPN servers / remote desktop servers rather than the location of users computers connected to them. Maxmind, on the other hand, is saying that they provide the location of users if they can, or will mark the location as unknown.

	So your business model depends on Maxmind agreeing to provide to their customers something which is not what they pay to obtain. And they refuse. I personally don't think they can be blamed for that, but that's something between your company and Maxmind. And nothing in this has to do with RIPE.
