First of all, I just wanted to say what an awesome plugin this is.
Just what I've been looking for. I initially set up a redirect to
feedburner and even changed the feedburner URL to be my original
wordpress URL, just to try and make sure people only ever subscribed
to my original link.

Problem is, IE7 uses the page it ends up at AFTER the redirect as the
"subscribe to" link. And with about 40% of people using IE7 now,
that's a big chunk of users subscribing to the WRONG feed!

So this is a great option. I have one question though - I have 2
separate feeds from the same blog I want to test. The first is
www.thesunpilots.com/blog/feed (which is all blog feeds) and the
second is www.thesunpilots.com/blog/category/podcast/feed (which is
the podcast-only feed). Both are currently redirecting to separate
feedburner feeds, but if there's a way of using this plugin to send
data for each feed to it's respective feedburner feed, I'll kill the
redirects and fire up the plugin!

First of all, thanks! :-)
Second of all, sorry, the plugin cannot do what you're asking for,
unfortunatly. Strictly speaking you're not really having two distinct
feeds, but rather one full feed and one based on just one category of
the first one, so a sub-feed. For the plugins it still considered just
one blog.
It's quite possible to enable the plugin to send these 'feeds' to
separate FeedBurner feeds, however, it's not a planned feature of this
plugin; at least not until we have stabalized the main codebase.
