True. Why not have it on their server as long as they are verifying the
IP???

Thanks for your tips. I am still concerned that other can use the same HTML
and access the confirmation of a valid user. We have other servers and ip's
as you know, but I am not much interested in transferring the site and
finding out. Can anyone else advice if someone can copy our code and get
confirmation? I am simply un-certain of the measures currently at hand in
the verification process at 2 cows....
