Well that's where you're wrong... as far as I know you can link proxy servers together in a chain -- even password protected chains... Hypothetically you could have an anonymous proxy server (being commanded remotely by a DSL) sending out thousands of hitbot commands to various proxy servers. And it seems to me even more likely that somebody has come up w/ an advanced proxy server that's designed for the very purpose of hitbotting...

I'm not even much of a programmer but it seems to me it would be possible to code an email worm virus that could spread thousands of very capable hitbot servers designed to emulate a typical surfer... how would anyone even know how to look for a custom hitbot server? You just can't. That's why proxy detection is totally useless IMHO.
