You can install geoip on most linux systems. I built a ws using this code:

<?php
header("Content-type: text/plain");
$ip = $_REQUEST[ip];
$r = geoip_record_by_name($ip);
$r['ip_address'] = $ip;
$json = json_encode($r);
$json = preg_replace('/^([^[{].*)$/', '[$1]', $json);
echo "geoip: ", $json, "\n";
#print_r($r);
?>
