If some serious computer admin would notice and check it out, let's hope that s/he sees that the following HTTP requests are made from HTTP::ProxyTest, and concludes that it's for a good purpose. Nobody has complained to me so far, btw. ;-)

I like your suggestion. Will write a simple template for next release.

Normally a lookup takes somewhere between 5 - 20 seconds, and I believe that the average is at the lower side of that interval. However, some hosts have filtered all the ports, and in those cases it may take more than 30 seconds. Also, a 'clean' host will not be tested more often than once a week.

Thanks for taking the time to check out the module and post your comments.
