It doesn't work well with corporate users, because users at widely dispersed locations can appear to be coming from the same point, that is, from wherever the corporate gateway is located.

Good databases contain such information. Apart from many corporations having multiple proxies at their locations.

A really cool example (for germany) is at

Unfortunately, their database is not free.

Sorry, if the corporation does not wish to publicize the location of its employees, there is no magic that can reveal where an employee who is using a proxy is really coming from.
