http://www.google.com/search?q=1.2.3.4+site%3Acisco.com I know that the University of Michigan utilize 1.2.3.4 for their captive portal login/logout pages as recently as monday when I was on the medical campus.
A lot of cheap, low-end devices (sometimes with names of well-know vendors) use IPs like 1.1.1.1 and 1.2.3.4 as captive portal IPs to authenticate connecting clients. A lot of "WLAN hotspots" users will have problems reaching 1/8 unless they connect via VPN to corporate and browse from there or something like that. The question is how soon 1/8 will have interesting content to serve, as I know at least one popular hotel chain in Europe using "1.1.1.1". -- "Everything will be okay in the end. | Łukasz Bromirski If it's not okay, it's not the end." | http://lukasz.bromirski.net
