Perhaps it is supposed to happen but I moderate a forum which I visit a lot and its always assigned to manc 4 and if its down I cannot access the forums without specifying a proxy. Which is why I am still on Bagu proxy now and I only test the proxy once a day if the forums fail then I go back to the specified proxy for the rest of that day. Its not like these proxies are saving NTL: anything infact sometimes it must be costing more as many ppl now use ctrl + alt+ f5 to force the proxies to refresh to see if the websites have changed as they are bad at updating when you are building a website online.
