hey guys i have written a small webservice which allows users of a company (lets call it xyz) to login to xyz's website remotely via my iphone app (without ever going on xyz's official website to login)
after logging these users programatically to xyz's website, i can allow my users to do many authenticated tasks xyz offers
since xyz does not offer apis for this i was forced to hijack xyz's login cookies from my webservice to allow users to use all the authenticated features
at no point of time am i saving xyz users username or password and use https for my webservice to ensure safety n security of users
however i have got an email from xyz asking me to shut down my webservice otherwise face legal action. if i do that my users would be very unhappy to loose so many cool features of my iphone app
i wanted to know the best way to host my webservice on some offshore server which has elastic / dynamic ip addresses with completely different patters (so xyz cant block a particular range of ips or even domain names)
i have heard amazon provides elastic ips - can they be used for such scenario
or can someone help me come out with a better solution
webservice is asp.net 3.5 based
