[DNS reverse-lookup]

[Madison Kelly]

Hi,

   I did a quick manual reverse lookup and nada... You might want to try 
grep'ing for the IP in /etc, /sbin, /bin or /home to see if you can 
figure out which file has that IP address in it and then read up on that 
file/program for your specific answers. The other option is to add a 
line to iptables that says if trying to contact that IP from localhost, 
drop.

hth,

Madison
