The truehit logs also report their top visitors, as you can see to the right. The fourth largest visitor of the day was from a Rogers netblock, and it also 82 hits (see the red arrow).
It seems obvious and inevitable that these two entries are to be taken together, and that the 82 hits that 66.185.84.204 had forwarded came from a single IP, 24.157.249.116.
Now, this IP is no longer part of a Rogers block (see here, for example). But a few years ago it seems to have been based in West Toronto. For reasons that we don't need to go into, "arfer" posted to a broad-band discussion boarded a long list (over three thousand items!) of the Rogers blocks that he could find (see here). About half-way down his list is this entry:
HNSN, according to this, abbreviates Hanson and is in the western GTA. (Presumably this is the location of some equipment; perhaps Hanson Road in Mississauga?)- Rogers Cable Inc. Hnsn ON-ROG-10-HNSN-7 (NET-24-157-249-0-1) 24.157.249.0 - 24.157.249.255
In a nutshell what does this mean? Not much, except that in February 2003, a computer in Mississauga with the IP 24.157.249.116 visited a site in Thailand; on its way there, however, its traffic was channeled by Rogers through one of its proxy servers, 66.185.84.204. Both the proxy and the individual IP was logged.
