Are you paying for a fixed IP number? I suspect you are if you were
running a world-accessible server.
Obviously a fixed IP will be tied to a fixed connection and thereby to
a fixed location which can be provided to a location database.
But most of us have DHCP assigned IP numbers, which change everytime we
reboot our connection (or even when the DHCP lease expires -- which may be
daily).
The IP number I have today may be given to somebody else on the other
side of the state tomorrow (though I suspect AT&T [phone company] keeps a
block of IP numbers per city -- but even my connection, AT&T Grand Rapids,
gets a "domain name" that identifies as Kalamazoo, when it gets to my ISP
Earthlink).
For DHCP, the only thing you can be sure of is that an IP database can
identify the location of the DHCP server that issues the IP number. In a
heavy population area, that may mean a DHCP server (and block of IP
numbers) may be down to the suburb level. Out in the country, one server
may handle multiple small towns.
