having (minor) prob. with the a.org proxy

It's not that simple.
208.69.36.132 runs multiple virtual werbservers, one of them is the proxy. It is not set up to be a host for amiga.org so it gives you the default. As for is it possible? Sure, if 208.69.36.132 is set up to also answer for amiga.org it should be ok.

Ah, I just assumed 208.69.36.132 to be where aoproxy.extropia.co.uk is located, and didn't bother to look it up. Anyways, there's little you can do on the client to make this work, unless you wan to run a local proxy as well that does rewrites of your requests.
