Adam, you should read my recent message called "ICS in DLL. My report about
results" here in mail list.
I faced with tons of troubles because of DLL nature so finally I returned to my
own blocking socket classes (just a simple WinSock wrapper - fortunately I
needed only basic functions in DLL).

I wrote an ActiveX DLL about 10 years ago that's still used on my web
site today, doing a reverse DNS look-up on the remote IP address
