Re: Overloading Proxy Servers

If I follow Robin's advice:

Quote:
Which is my web proxy cache?
You can find out whether your web connection is being proxy cached, and, if so, the address of the web proxy cache, by visiting either of these sites:

http://www.all-nettools.com/pr.htm (see Remote address or Remote host)
http://www.broadband-help.com/cm_diagnose.asp?init=1 (see Proxy Name(R-DNS))
Because the ISP might be load-balancing across more than one web proxy cache, your web connections might use different proxy caches for different web destinations. So you might get different answers from the two sites above. And the actual cache used for your other web accesses might be different yet again. When load-balancing is in operation, the above sites will identify an individual cache in a cluster of caches, and the DNS names of the caches will usually have an obvious structure enabling you to deduce the names of other members of the cluster.

According to Broadband Help I am on cache4-nott.server.ntli.net

According to All Nettools I am on cache10-nott.server.ntli.net


1-3 & 5-9 may come into the equation. So I am not sure what identifying particular proxy IP's will achieve?
