If I have to, I will scan for IP addresses contained in AOL's range, but I don't particularly want to go that route. I assumed that if a user was not using AOL's browser, but used AOL as an ISP, then they were effectively no different from any other ISP. If they are some how caching all traffic (which I find hard to believe), I will have to do something else (I'm thinking about 2 pounds of Semtex should do it).;~0John Peacockp.s.
