Is anyone on this list familiar with the AOL "megaproxies"?
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.
Normally I'd think that they only proxy web connections, but some links
say otherwise:

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

- Refers to the AOL proxies with "all TCP connections"
Anyone have any experience with AOL in this regard?
Thanks,
Nathan
