In my organizantion, there is a proxy server, through which all the packets are filtered and forwarded. There are many sites that tell the location of the IP address. I tried the IP addess of the proxy server and some of thease goelocation sites show the location as Chennai and some as Bangalore.

(These are cities in India).

How is this possible?
