Yeah, it's unfortunate.  Iv'e just been checking out the ips I'm being
hit by, most don't resolve which would make me think they're dynamic. 
Found some interesting 'infested' sites, one nasa.gov domain and one
netcraft.com domain.  Many of the others that do resolve have very
telling names, that include things such as 'dialup', 'dsl', 'slip',
which again, to me says there's probably a lot of ignorant home users
out there who don't have a clue their fine Windows box is running a web
server service.

to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his
intelligence." - Albert Einstein
