If you wanted to do the routing analysis yourself, you could also use
the following tools:

pgRouting (PostGIS/Postgres)  http://www.pgrouting.org/

VirtualNetwork (routing functionality in Spatialite)
http://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite-2.3.1/spatialite-network-2.3.1.html

A service is definitely easier, but there are some pretty good tools
available...
