Thanks. So I was able to verify that my server is whitelisted. However, is 20000 API calls enough for a "proxy"? Let me explain. I'm building a Twitter client in Flash Lite. Flash Lite currently only supports ActionScript2. Because there is no AS2 Twitter API, I'm using a server side API proxy. So, the Flash Lite app connects to mtwit.net > mtwit.net connects to Twitter.com > mtwit returns XML data to my app.
In theory, a limit of 20000 means I can only support 133 concurrent users (if they all leave the app running for an hour).
