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...
