Well, I'm not sure I really understand the problem. It's not soo hard to 
throw the postal codes against nominatim one at a time (or 5 in 
parallel). This should not be a problem for 180 addresses.

I'm not sure nominatim will take all addresses (eg. 
<http://open.mapquestapi.com/nominatim/v1/search.php?q=V6E+4A2> doesn't 
work)
