Getting through firewall for experts

breglis Hi David,
I just downloaded vanilla myself to have a quick look.
I am quite literate in PHP myself from the good o' dot.com
days..
Ideally I imagine something like changing $REMOTE_HOST with $REMOTE_ADDR
somewhere in the layout templates.

If you do that, and IP addresses are used for links, then if the IP address ever changes, folks from around the world (who have linked to londonfgss's bootiful content) will end up with a load of broken links.

Sorry to put a downer on it.
