ZipCodes aren't geographic areas, they are postal service delivery routes. Some 
of them have really wacky layouts and boundaries. In some places, a building 
has it's own zipcode. I also recommend you geocode each address, then do the 
distance math between lat-lons. Google it and you'll find several formulas. 
There are several address geocoders to use  on the cheap, but you get what you 
pay for (daily limits, unresolved addresses, etc.) If you have some budget, 
check out www.proxix.com.
