Have you ever heard of someone using IP addresses as an access control mechanism? (AKA, "IP whitelist") When I hear about this, I would really *love* to be able to link them to a credible source. > they seem to occur often enough that that isn't really required :( *I* believe you, but in practice that's not sufficient to convince many other folks. Currently, a section of a page on Wikipedia lists 7 incidents going back to 1997. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_hijacking#Public_incidents Serious question: Do folks here feel that is an accurate representation of this phenomenon in practice? - Marsh
