Re: How to find initiating host address?

[Harald Tveit Alvestrand <Harald@Alvestrand.no>]

Source dependent replies are generated today by queries for netscape.com;
I'm sure they are not the only ones to do so.

(netscape.com generates a zero-lifetime CNAME pointing to a host that it 
guesses is "close" to you - the name tells you a bit about its assumptions, 
so it can be fun querying various resolvers and seeing what comes back).

Strengthens my point made repeatedly over the last 5 years that there needs 
to be some way applications can make even a half-hearted guess at network 
metrics - if there isn't an architecturally clean way, people will find 
other ways.
