OK if I am right the US Treasury Department needs help!

Very much so:


They identified themselves as 10.0.7.238 instead of a host.domain !!??
This is very bad.

There are actually 3 problems with this:


[1] They did not identify themselves using a host name, which is the standard method.
[2] They technically *did* identify themselves as a host name ("10.0.7.238" in that context is a host name, not an IP). The host name 10.0.7.238 doesn't exist. If you use an IP rather than a hostname, you need to have it in brackets.
[3] The IP they tried but failed to identify themselves as is a private IP, and therefore would be invalid anyway.
