I only seem to go through one of these two, since the proxies came on......

How do you tell that?
Bill - don't put Automatically Detect Settings on in Internet Options - it doesn't do anything except slow your browser startup down. For transparent caching it's completely irrelevant.
Can I remind people that you don't get assigned a specific proxy by ntl, you go through a group of proxies one of which will respond to your request depending on the destination IP you are requesting data from. Thus requests to two different sites could well be fielded by two completely different servers. The only reason you may think you're on a specific proxy is that two visits to the *same* site are likely to be fielded by the *same* proxy.
