Its actually nothing to do with iBurst's proxy, which is crap
Uniforum stores the number of requests in a cookie, clear out the cookie and you can request again.

So how many requests can I do per day / week / month / year / lifetime? And how come the proxy address is shown, not my connection address? Haven't been there in the last 2 days and 19 hrs that my connection is up on the current ip. Haven't been there in quite a while, definately not busy with data mining.

uniform truely sucks.. omg did we have endless hassles with their requests for ptr records which no one else requests but them, not to mention we had to figure this out magically over time and trial and error. The admin just mails back, "Contact your isp and they should know"

GREAT TECH SUPPORT baha

Following the PTR, Glue, etc, discussions on IOZ. Craziness and endless circles...

AFAIK it's 10 per hour. You can get unlimited if you are on a static ip by emailing and asking them to put you in their special lookup list

I'm guessing they are just pulling the IP out of the http headers for show.

Yeah well, that was my first request on that connection ip (more than 2 days), so I don't see the 10 / hour. Anyway, a little later it worked fine, was probably one of the first in the new hour an the proxy address

And waiting for nameserver syncing...

And the proxy cr@p doesn't stop...
ns-cache-01.cpt.wbs.co.za resolves a domain registered last night
ns-cache-01.jhb.wbs.co.za doesn't yet
My own machines do, including local proxy
The WBS proxy doesn't yet...
So users have access to a fresher nameserver than their proxy?

And they expect us to trust their SMTP server?
