- But my machine has 16 IPs, and your solution only returns one of them.
The one that happens to be associated with my "hostname". And when
you're running 281 domains, "hostname" seems irrelevant.
- Mac? $ip{WinX} = "DHCP"; -grin-
- But I like regex's!

6 will be?

Where's our Ruby expert? S/he should chime in here... -grin-
