I had to get something like this working a few weeks ago and ended up using Google Maps. It's not an elegant solution but it works and it's free. Go to Google Maps and do a search. Do something like 74354 to 70601. You will notices that on the left hand panel of the returned page will be something like Drive: 602 mi. Look at the HTML generated. You can parse that and get the distance. Pretty simple actually.

Hope it helps,
