The thought just occurred to me.... The original intent of the request
is to figure out basically how to uniquely identify the machine. IP
address was the tool the guy wanted to use. But there are other ways of
uniquely identifying machines, such as mac address. But you can't get
that.
However the docs for CreateUUID states that:
'The ColdFusion UUID generation algorithm uses the unique time-of-day
value, the IEEE 802 Host ID, and a cryptographically strong random
number generator to generate UUIDs that conform to the principles laid
out in the draft IEEE RFC "UUIDs and GUIDs."'
So if ColdFusion can get that IEEE 802 Host ID it must be using Java to
do so, and if Java can do it, you can call that method in ColdFusion.
However I don't know that method that CF uses to get at that. I look
around, but couldn't find anything obvious. Anybody have any clues?

Yes but again you have totally changed the topic and are just trying to
be clever instead of answering the guys question. We were never talking
about machines with virtual servers, vmware, DCHP etc.
You will also note that I have previously posted that there is no REAL
default.
