I was curious about lisa, so I checked out the link. Being a screenshot pig,
I of course clicked to look at it.

Lo and behold, an image of a browser showing (among other addresses
discovered), 10.2.8.3 and 10.5.23.1. Wouldn't this imply that the author was
running something similar to Mircea's configuration?

Apologies if this is off track, but I thought that the image means that
there's some way that the author had addressed the same problem. Maybe his
config/his comments would be able to help figure out what to do.
