Journal james_couzens's Journal: Riiiiight... and we're running out of IP addresses...

Not that the presense of a PTR (reverse) record in DNS signifies absolute employment of an IP address, but in the days where anything not being a server should be behind NAT for security reasons, one has to ask the question, why does BCAA need almost 13,000 ip addresses, and of those nearly 13,000 ip addresses, how many do you suppose they actually use?

Lets find out:

code3 perl # ./lookup.bcaa.pl data /var/log/bcaa.log
Writing to logfile: /var/log/bcaa.log
Scanning addresses: 192.197.0.1 stopping at 192.197.50.255

--[ LEGEND ]-------------
. = NO PTR record found
x = PTR record found
