I do not know of many billers that can postback to more than one location, and most affiliate systems will need the data postback going to them. Which gives clicktruth two choices as far as I see right now:
1) make the program send on the postback, which is rather unlikely since now the program has control over shaving again
2) clicktruth sends the postback on to the program, which would scare the shit out of me because what if clicktruth goes down?


Again, I do not know the details of clicktruth, so the above might be absolutely wrong, but thats how it sounds like to me right now.
IMHO the data would have to hit the clicktruth system prior to the affiliate program to ensure that no shaving is happening.

If it hit the affiliate script first you could always tunnel data back to the clicktruth shit through a proxy and dynamically "drop" sales from passing back...
