Why is it too much to ask?  It makes it much harder to do load
balancing.

Actually found that one, and it seems to be helping.  However, it won't
work if they distribute to proxies on completely different network numbers.
Not sure if they'll actually do that.

I know some ISP's have proxies on network numbers that vary in the most
significant byte.  AOL, for example, has proxies on networks with 64, 195,
198, 202, 205 and 207 as their most significant bytes so even a mask of
255.0.0.0 might not group them together.

It also reduces the effectiveness of the load balancing, since everyone
on the same "network", relative to the mask, will get the same server.

Thanks for your response.
