[Unreal-support] IPs in whois lines munged?

[Brett D. <br...@cl...>]

Greetings all,

In both 3.1.4 and the latest 3.2 beta(which installed flawlessly 
btw), I get odd results from whois:

brett@3ACD6E0C.9833D586.32DB8781.IP

...for example.  Console talk shows the server failing for a DNS 
lookup(internal system with internal private IP, has no DNS), claims 
it will use my IP...but uses the obfuscated line instead.  This is 
making things somewhat difficult, and confusing users(happens to 
them, too.)  Same thing happens for systems with legitimate 
hostnames; "is connecting from" line shows proper IP or hostname.  I 
can imagine this might be a 'feature' to hide people's IP addresses 
or hostname, but at the moment, it's more of a pain than anything 
else.  Is this a misconfiguration on my part, or is there something I 
can change to get real IPs?  If push comes to shove I can set up 
faked DNS, since I'm the only one who really needs to have a useable 
ident line...

Thanks in advance for the help!

Brett
