THE NEW LINK FOR OUR SITE. SORRY FOR ANY TROUBLE YOU MAY HAVE HAD WITH THE OLD LINK. THIS ONE HAS ALL THE CORRECTIONS
One boggles when some idiot who spams refers to a URL as a "line," and then can't even give a valid URL. What did they do, convert the IP to a single value and then translate it to decimal? Why? It's obviously to dodge complaints. I have to wonder about anybody who would write a browser which accepts something like that in the first place.
The browser has to accept it. The number is valid. you would have to reprogram the stack to block resolution - or alternatively block it at the browser - and I'm not even sure that is possible at this point. The decimal format is part of the way the internet works.
Good point. I'd tried it long ago in some (most likely broken) software and never gave it a second thought. "3638141293" resolves to 216.217.161.109, which is serviced, not surprisingly, but home.net. The site is up but trying (badly) to dodge traceroutes.

I only know about unix traceroute and that should work ipip:~# traceroute 3638141293 traceroute to 3638141293 (216.217.161.109), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 192.0.2.1 (192.0.2.1) 2.827 ms 1.88 ms 1.79 ms 2 10.66.0.1 (10.66.0.1) 21.541 ms 19.027 ms 20.959 ms 3 gateway.god.god (10.0.0.111) 30.18 ms 23.96 ms 22.738 ms 4 c1-pos3-0.chcgil1.home.net (24.7.64.173) 46.407 ms 41.601 ms 44.095 ms 5 c1-pos0-0.lnmtco1.home.net (24.7.65.150) 60.188 ms 55.005 ms 55.753 ms 6 c1-pos1-0.slkcut1.home.net (24.7.64.57) 85.283 ms 66.559 ms 64.059 ms 7 wbb1-pos2-0.pop1.ut.home.net (24.7.75.142) 72.083 ms 69.725 ms 59.08 ms 8 10.253.92.34 (10.253.92.34) 63.26 ms 65.591 ms 86.966 ms 9 216.217.161.109 (216.217.161.109) 62.396 ms 58.283 ms 60.437 ms -- Joe Baptista http://www.dot.god/ dot.GOD Hostmaster +1 (805) 753-8697
