I don't know...I just looked at this boards ip addresses. We have a webmaster with over 200 posts that only comes here through aol. And through all the posts and thousands of times they have been here, they have only used 4 different aol proxy ip addresses. So, instead of 3, bump it to 5 or even 10 and it will still work and be free.
Looking at this, "When a member initially connects to the AOL host complex, the client software receives network configuration information, including the IP addresses for the local system and for the DNS server. The member's IP address is a Dyamically Assigned Hardware Address (DAHA), which is an address that is assigned to a session. Once the session has ended, the address may be reassigned." it looks like the aol user is good until they log off. And even then, "the address may be reassigned".
