[Dxspider-support] Bad IP

[Gregor Surmann]

Hello Dirk,

yes, indeed, my idea was a short-sighted "Schnapsidee" (bad idea).

I've already managed to find it, and, after a whole night of working (until 
6am), now I have implemented it. You should see the spots already coming 
with the real user's IPs. That was "easy" ;)

So I guess, after the initial irritation my node should be running, at least 
somehow, correctly now.

Thank you very much!
