Heheh.  I had a cronjob tracerouting nf every 5 minutes. I'd say he
noticed it, and put that in his dns :)  I noticed that in my logs and
shutdown the traceroute, as it has served its purpose. :)

BTW, 10.0.0.100 was _always_ present in the traceroute.

Normally the private IPs should only be visible inside an organisation,
and not visible to the outside world.
