I believe this is in the context of: 'hax0r _bob (for instance) has a PTR for his ip which says "I.love.humble.net" when machines a->y query for the PTR, BUT when machine z queries it returns "www.cert.org"' I could be off base here, but I think this is the question Avleen is asking, eh? --Chris (chris@uu.net) On Wed, 24 Apr 2002, Richard A Steenbergen wrote:
