with the AOL "megaproxies"?<br>

<br>

I'm trying to find out if they only proxy HTTP/HTTPS traffic or if it's

all TCP connections. I'm working on setting up load balancers for a

client application and need to know if I can expect users to keep

coming from the same IP for the most part.<br>

<br>

Normally I'd think that they only proxy web connections, but some links

say otherwise:<br>

- Refers to TCP connections as a general topic, not just http/s.<br>

- Refers to the AOL proxies with "all TCP connections"<br>

<br>

Anyone have any experience with AOL in this regard?<br>

<br>

Thanks,<br>
