Actually, it's 172.16/12, and 172.22.3.2 is indeed in it (see RFC 1918, "Address Allocation for Private Internets"). Such address shouldn't have leaked into their name server. A very easy way to check this is to do something like: [output edited for brevity] $ whois [EMAIL PROTECTED] [whois.ripe.net] inetnum: 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 netname: IANA-BBLK-RESERVED1 descr: Class B address space for private internets descr: See RFC1918.TXT for further information P.S. They describe this as "Class B address space for private internets", but it is not a single class B: it is 16 class B's. -- Nadav Har'El | Sunday, Dec 2 2001, 17 Kislev 5762 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |I have a watch cat!
