RE: Tying a session to an IP address

Hi all,

When I was mulling over this very problem not so very long ago, I came
across the following AOL page, which lists the proxies:
http://webmaster.info.aol.com/proxyinfo.html

From their description, it seems that both the proxy server used by the
client AND the client IP address are apt to change.

One item to not forget is AOL's "super proxies" could
 create a problem on a scheme where you need to
reauthenticate (provided the world is able to use your
application) if the ip address changes. They have multiple
proxy servers (however, their proxy ip lists are published
so this can be worked around, but... its still a point to
note)
