I use Primus-AOL in Australia. What's all this about proxies? I only
rarely see my connection having two IP addresses (when the Supertunnel
is active).

So, here is a request: something on special:blockip that
will warn you that you are about to block an AOL proxy (by
IP number), and possibly even not let you do so.
Are all the AOL address ranges easily obtainable? (A simple
query to ARIN, or perhaps emailing and asking AOL?)
