Guys,

i know you can use a lon/lat database to search for things X miles
from a zip code, has anyone here ever had the challenge of marking an
address as the center of a radius and searching for other addresses
within 3 miles of that address?

i am asking because a potential client only delivers up to 3.5 miles
from his shop, however he has over 20,000 customers in that small
area.  Now have you ever heard of doing a search to find out if an
address is 3.5 miles from his shop address? the client checked with
mapquest and they want something like $35,000 a year to provide him
with this service.
