[Nms-cgi-devel] Guestbook IP Address Strangeness

[Lewis K. <nm...@dm...>]

I have been using the Guestbook with the admin and delete the spam. I sometimes block the IP addresses if they are from known spam spewers and become annoying; however, lately the IP addresses being displayed in the log look like:

216-31-225-6.static-ip.telepacific.net
198.235.14.30
ip-72-55-188-250.static.privatedns.com
82.173.92.64.static.reverse.ltdomains.com
198.65.122.125
ns.km10329.keymachine.de
41.220.227.2
mailer2.mtvi.com
cpe-024-168-247-224.sc.res.rr.com
ns.km10329.keymachine.de
72.52.96.51
mailer2.mtvi.com
151.11.232.92
74.223.57.126.nw.nuvox.net
89-149-241-118.internetserviceteam.com
www.macs.net
host99.190-139-105.telecom.net.ar
89-149-227-238.internetserviceteam.com

(I modified the script so that it will list only IP addresses to make it easier to copy them to the banned list.)

Is there some reason that $ENV{REMOTE_ADDR} picks up this syntax? Or is it a spam technique?

Thanks!
