I've looked into this from my ISP... they don't allow it - they don't 
care to have a lot of traffic to my server without selling me the web 
service... however I'm led to believe (not by customer service or 
anything) that if the volume of traffic is low they most likely won't 
bother you.
On the other hand if they don't like it in the least, you are most 
likely to get a rather strongly worded mail or email telling you to cut 
it out. Worst case, they shut off your service.
YMMV
