I think what you're seeing is AOL in action. AOL users get a new IP address just about every time they load a web page. Makes blocking vandals from there a bit tricky.
That could explain it, the repeated behaviors could be users that know what they have and want to remain anonymous. I don't recall AOL advertising an anonymizing proxy feature? 8-)
Do you know if it is just dial-up users going through AOL, or do broadband and DSL customers who add AOL on and use the AOL browser, end up going through the anonymizing proxy too?

Cable modem connection - I opened AOL (my wife has an account) - "you have new messages" pops up, I click on it, it takes me to User talk: 205.188.116.72 http://205.188.116.72, with a new orange banner, which takes me to User talk:205.188.116.132 http://205.188.116.132, which has a new orange banner which takes me to User talk:205.188.116.72http://205.188.116.72. Very distracting - and I am just browsing.

If you are even pseudo anonymous using an IP and it isn't because you're using AOL or NTL or another ISP that uses sick and twisted router techniques you should immediately send an email to an admin with your ip address and any other IP addresses in the same system that you know of so we can block it for being an open proxy since any IP that can't be readily traced back to an ISP or a school is very likely an open proxy.
