To sum it
up:
Re. the proxy caching. TelstraClear operate completely transparent
caching proxy servers on all HTTP traffic in and out of their
residential networks.
This means that HTTP connections you make are silently rewritten to
terminate on their servers, which then return it from cache if
available, or make the request to the destination server _using
your IP
as the source IP_ (that's the 'fully transparent' bit). On the way
back,
they intercept the response traffic, cache it if the headers indicate
it's cacheable, and send it on its way to you without modifying the
source IP.
It's a little bit of a hack, but it does mean that the destination
server sees the traffic as coming from you rather than from their
proxy,
and you don't have to configure anything. Of course it does mean that
you don't get to configure anything, but I think you can opt out if
you
wish.
Sorry they did't give me any options. Just the "Wont fix" option :-(
