There are easier solutions, but I have PostgreSQL available, so I roll my 
own. It goes to the level of Country/Region(State)/City. I get the data 
using:

wget http://mirrors.ipinfodb.com/ipinfodb/ip_database/current/
ipinfodb_mul_table_full.csv.zip

..but it looks as though that may no longer be updated, so I might have 
to look around for another source.
