Is it possible to configure a text field in a CCK node type as an auto-complete that references a table field?

OK so maybe my question was a little on the brief side.

I would like to create a custom node type using CCK. One of the fields that I want to create is a list of suburbs in Australia, about 15 000 of them. To do this I would like to have a field that references a table of locations and uses auto-complete to refine the list.

Is this possible? If so any asistance would be appreciated.

umm, search for ajax on the drupal forums, this is the technogly that is autocompleting the forms. Or maybe just add a taxonomy category with freetagging.

I would recommend a taxonomy vocabulary with all the suburbs and a text field that would then use AJAX to reference taxonomy to auto-complete. However, adding 15,000 terms to a taxonomy vocabulary sounds like quite the pain.

Anybody know of a way to add taxonomy terms using maybe comment seperated text entries?
