Ahh but Mike said that his proxy was NOT passing that information,
and was gathering data some other way.

It may not be so complex; many proxies (e.g. squid) will pass on a

My home IP address is officially registerd to a proxy server in San
Diego. I'm connected via satellite behind the proxy from a very
remote location in northern California, and yet the findme utility
properly identified my actual geographic position. The satellite
service provider has -not- revealed my actual address. ( I checked
with friends in their net ops center.) The data for local.live.com
was purchased from a commercial ip geolocation service who
determined my actual, rural location using undisclosed mechanisms.
