Surprisingly (we're talking about ATT broadband here), this address resolves to a host, and that host resolves to another IP address. For me they happen to be the same addresses: 65.96.250.128 -> h000094c5efff.ne.mediaone.net -> 65.96.250.128 I think ALL: PARANOID only requires that 1) your IP resolves to a hostname 2) that hostname resolves to ANY ip address. of course, this mostly causes problems, and adds very little security benefits... ttyl, -- Josh Huber
