Slightly offtopic, but IPv4 addresses only have 4 parts, not 5. ;-)

I don't think it's done by IP address, however; by an extension of your own proxy server suggestion, lots of people will already be proxying through a server due to their ISP's configuration. Battle.net can't ban the proxy server's IP without throwing a lot of "innocent" people offline too.

A similar thing happened to me a few days ago on US West; I got killed in Duriel's chamber in normal ( forgot the thawing potion for the increased cold resistance ;-) ), and rather than risk trying to recover my body and dying again I thought I'd just quit the game and rejoin it. No such luck; on quitting the game, I got 'lost connection to battle.net' followed by 'realm down'. A quick check with a different account on a different computer confirmed that the realm was not, in fact, down, but my game which had been up for 40 minutes or so had been killed off instantly.

Deleting the 'bncache.dat' file from my d2 directory on the 'realm down' computer enabled me to get back on immediately, instead of having to wait the 20 minutes or so it used to require back in 1.09; however they may well have changed the realm down timeout, so this could have been just a coincidence.
You don't know what you're talking about.
