I think some network providers/ISPs do actually record somewhere where the Ips are likely to be handed out.... dont hold me to that tho, I dont deal in networking at that level ;-p

Got my IP correct, not surprising though as I live in one of the main centres. How's the connection rate in Mt Eden? :-p

Interesting, both my current work IP address (ICONZ) and my home static IP address (Telecom) are also showing Mt Eden Prison. Perhaps there's a resale operation being run from there :)
