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.
Ah, didn't know that. So we hop around the proxies anyway depending on what page we ask for? So if i specify a proxy do i stay on that one or doesn't it apply either? Not that i change the settings, i'm just curious.

I used Allnet Tools or Samspade always gave these results.
