The question I have, is it feasible, and legal, to write program that would give real time tracking of where an ip address is coming from? Can you recommend any resources for this topic? Also, if it's not legal, could you help provide some of the basic principles behind it rather than give resources/code? Just a curiosity I've been having.

You can check out http://www.ip2location.com And google "ip location" and get a few other good companies. They use a variety of information from ISP records, to shopping records, to online surveys, etc.
