Is it possible that your app is indeed running on the server at that IP
address? Have you tried to access the IP in a browser?

Subject: CGI.Server_Name -- showing as IP of client?

I know the cgi structure can be spoofed, and admit to my ignorance as far as
that goes. We've been getting some error messages showing cgi.Server_Name
fulfilled with the caller's IP address.

So here is my question: How would this happen? In what cases does the
CGI.server_name variable get fulfilled with something other than the
server_name (either IP or domain) CF is running on? Is this a
browser-specific thing? Or is it really only an indication of a hack
attempt?

Thanks,
Kris
