Any experience with Geo IP databases?

mikey,

It works for me.

Usually when I see geo-ip tracking it gets close, it shows the city for my ISP. But the other day I was doing some SE research and landed on a page that showed me the correct town I live in. That was pretty spooky. I'm still trying to figure out how they did it.

In the meantime, I want to start working more with geo-ip tracking. Where would I go to purchase a local database?

To take that step further, I'm still looking for java applet that will send me the surfers ip address for those behind a proxy server. Anyone know where I can find that? Or can anyone write it?
