If you are running an internal dns server, add the domain login.oscar.aol.com as 127.0.0.1.
Now it doesn't matter if the ip address changes...

(Smart users w/admin access can still get by by using host files.)

Just be careful not to add the entire aol.com domain ;)

You need to do an nslookup on login.oscar.aol.com.

server dns-01.ns.aol.com
Default Server:  dns-01.ns.aol.com
Address:  152.163.159.232

set type=a
login.oscar.aol.com
Server:  dns-01.ns.aol.com
Address:  152.163.159.232

Name:    login.oscar.aol.com
Served by:
- mtc-gdns008.ns.aol.com
         64.12.182.88
         glogin.messaging.aol.com
- dtc-gdns008.ns.aol.com
         205.188.139.88
         glogin.messaging.aol.com

They could change it at any time so it'd be good to check it every so
often to double-click what login.oscar.aol.com resolves to.
