duh. I knew that. Just pointing out the "coder's" not so great, and not exactly new, script. 5 minutes with some shell scripting, sed and awk, and a maps.google call produces the same result. When I went through my Squid proxy - which is supposed to hide the internal addr and only show the publicly addressable one, his script grabbed my private addr. Redirected myself past the proxy and straight out one of the ns servers and the script stopped at the ns server and didn't continue on in. Must look at the F5 and Cisco configs, but maybe week after next. I'm on vay-kay as of 51 minutes ago, so only if a server catches fire am I doing anything till the 30th. Ha! Something will blow up and need attention...
