Does IANA maintain IP servers on addresses such as "111.111.111.11"??
Reverse lookup merely shows this particular IP as being part of a netblock
called "RESERVE-8" belonging to IANA. Does anyone know exactly *what*
they're "reserved" for?? My trusted network is primarily NT 4.0 boxes, btw,
but we do have a smattering of W9x and older W3.x units out there, along
with Linux, HPUX, AIX, etc. I haven't caught any packets from the trusted
side that were destined to these IANA IP's, however.
Thanks,

A similar situation turned up here and turned out to be associated with
Windows98, dhcp and register coding that had the host looking for an
IANA reserved IP server. Get control of this and your logs should get
smaller.
