Is there a daily limit on the number of reverse geocodes one IP address (ie: server) can perform in a day with the web services?   No, there is currently no limit.
use the WS to geocode them then cache the results in our database (assuming that's allowed under the licence).  
This is fine. The licence allows you to do everything you like.
The problem being, we'd need to geocode on average maybe 2 - 3000 entries per site initially into the cache and I don't want to get the server IPs banned for abusing the system. With the UK system it does one lookup every couple of seconds, then sleeps for 20 seconds every 200 and I was wondering if something like that would be acceptable for using the Geonames system?  
This is perfectly acceptable.
