If the accesses are authenticated, then they are charged to the authenticating user, and not the IP address. Each user gets 100 accesses regardless of the IP they come from. If the accesses are unauthenticated, then the accesses are charged to the IP address, and that IP address gets 100 unauthenticated accesses. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * [email protected] -- The superfluous is very necessary. -- Voltaire -----------------------------
