[Dxspider-support] Incorrect IP addresses

Morning,

I'm seeing that there are nodes in Mojo version that are publishing PC92A
(from node and users) with intranet IP: 10.*, etc , even all their spots
with the same intranet IP.
There are even nodes that do not send their IP on PC92A having PC92 enabled.
And this is not something that happens because of a bug in the software, I
dare say it is intentional, and therefore unwanted on the Network.

It is very easy to keep our node with the correct IP, even if it is a
dynamic IP. Some time ago I made a small script that allows this information
to be updated automatically. You can find the information at: 
https://github.com/EA3CV/dxspider_info/blob/main/update_ip.pl

This script updates the variables: $main::localhost_alias_ipv4 and
@main::localhost_names
with a crontab entry:
00,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * run_cmd("update_ip")

In my case, for the nodes I manage, I'm going to block all intranet
addresses:

set/badip 10.0.0.0/8
set/badip 172.16.0.0/12
set/badip 192.168.0.0/16

Regards,
