[Dxspider-support] Bads IPs address ???

[Mike McCarthy, W1NR]

Thanks Dirk for all the hard work...

Global IPv6 doesn't masquerade, so any IPv6 subnet from your ISP should 
work. HOWEVER, if you have your network set up with local IPv6 and no 
global (fe80::) then it's a problem. You shouldn't use local IPv6 for 
spider in this case.

You should be able to specify the entire local IPv4 subnet/netmask like 
192.168.1.0/24 somehow in perl. BUT another case is where I have an 
incoming VPN connection that gets a different subnet than the main one.

No matter what, there will be some problems with spider behind a NAT 
firewall.

THAT was the equation. EXISTENCE!... SURVIVAL... must cancel out... 
programming!
