[Typo3-dev] Typo3 backend login and proxy servers

[Kristian Kristensen]

Hi Kasper, and all,

The information you provided plus information I got from my proxy provider,
gives the solution. Apparently the proxy server I sit behind has a round
robin configuration: It simply shifts it's incoming connections out to
different other proxy servers, and each external proxy has a different ip
address.
So that coupled with the  locking to login ip address explains why I get
thrown off.

Thanks for the reply, I'll go bang my proxy provider on the head now ;-)

Best,
Kristian Kristensen
