I've found that AOL sort of semi-masks their user IPs. Doing an IP-to-geolocation lookup usually returns just "America Online" with no location information available, and I've noted in Apache logs that one AOL user browsing a site will show multiple different IPs during the browsing session, usually a different IP for each request. For instance, four sequential requests from a single AOL user in a recent log came from IPs 205.188.117.15, 205.188.116.200, 205.188.117.79, and 205.188.117.65, all within two seconds, for various elements on a single page. All these addresses simply resolve back to AOL, and you can't trace them back any further. (At least, nothing I've tried does.) So it's behaving like a proxy. I'm sure this has something to do with either load balancing or security or both.
