Personally, I think this should be reduced to 24 hours, as dynamic IPs can be recycled pretty soon, and Wikipedia is growing enormously in popularity.
I think it should be reduced to 5 minutes -- is there any reason to have it be longer?
To avoid having to recheck the same static proxies *every five minutes*.

How about this: if we detect an open proxy, keep that information for 5 minutes; if we don't, keep that for 24 hours.
It just seems really bad to have an auto-block potentially affect a different user with the same dynamic IP address.
