If they are creating lists by regex / name analysis
79.123.161.216.in-addr.arpa name = ddslppp79.desm.uswest.net
looks awfully 'dynamic'/pool like... If AOL wants to do something so
shotgun like, thats their prerogative. But apart from examining the name,
there is no way to tell that that IP address is being assigned to the same
customer.
