    I thought of that, but the machine has "dhcp" in its DNS hostname, which
    made me think "client system":

    203.50.0.215 == rsdhcp21.telstra.net

    Thankfully, it seems that either my post here or my messages to Telstra
    (the ones that didn't bounce) got through to someone ... or else they
    just finally woke up and took their worm box down -- at least, it isn't
    phl00ding us any more.
