Just cuz RFC 1918, e.g. private addresses, came up, I thought I'd toss this out: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-manning-dsua-06.txt As a draft it has less authority than a work of fiction :), but it's a nice summary of some of the non-routable addies. http://www.sans.org/dosstep/index.htm has some nice info too. ciao, der.hans -- # der.hans@LuftHans.com home.pages.de/~lufthans/ www.YourCompanyHere.net ;-) # Practice socially consious hedonism.
