Well, I just entered my own domain name, clicked on the link, and got
the result from my own http server.
All it appears to do, is convert your web 'name' back into your web
'address'. SDeems to be a glorified reverse DNS setup.! :-)

I guess he's just a little confused about the URL being one big number instead of 4 numbers separated by a dot. Solution: Even if we usually write IP-numbers as 4 decimals, it really is one 32bit integer number. Since it's kinda hard to remember one big number we always write each byte as one decimal, and that makes the four numbers you're used to. Michael H. SuSE

<p>Did't we discuss this before? q1.q2.q3.q4 is the same as bignum = q1*256^3 + q2*s56^2 + q3*256^1 + q4 JLK -- Scientific theories, according to Sir Karl Popper, can be "falsified," or proven wrong, by experiment. Unscientific theories-Marxist dialectical history and Freudian psychology were Popper's favorites-are formed in such a way that they cannot be falsified by data.
