The other negative of Non-Transparent-Proxying that this brings to mind is the relative difficulty that ISPs have identifying persons who abuse web based services (websites, forums, et al) - The logs which collect 'cache?.xyz.co.nz' aren't exactly going to give the ISP information used to resolve user accounts and specific individuals.
You mean like in this case?
"Smith also promised TelstraClear would endeavour to discover the identity of the abuser but said it would be difficult thanks to the volume of internet logs generated by customers." Has he never heard of `grep -r` ? It can't be that hard, I have to find malicious content in logs numerous times and it takes me SFA time. They know it's from a Christmas Island domain, so he will obviously browse the site before he links the images onto the forums and Christmas Island domains aren't the most popular. I don't see the problem here. - Drew
