Hi Jeff, Qwest makes extensive use of the private IP's. Here's a traceroute to show what I mean: $ traceroute plug.phoenix.az.us traceroute to plug.phoenix.az.us (216.217.65.170), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets 1 vdsl-130-13-77-1.phnx.uswest.net (130.13.77.1) 23.185 ms 24.683 ms 24.038 ms 2 192.168.100.97 (192.168.100.97) 24.354 ms 23.483 ms 24.529 ms 3 192.168.10.2 (192.168.10.2) 25.912 ms 28.037 ms 79.286 ms 4 13.fa1-0-0.phnx-cust.phnx.uswest.net (207.224.191.1) 25.776 ms 24.679 ms 433.625 ms 5 206.80.192.246 (206.80.192.246) 44.767 ms 27.210 ms 25.771 ms [snip] See how hops 2 and 3 are private IP's?
