Jim Galvin is quite correct; relying on accurate knowledge on the remote
machine id in tcp/ip is hopeless.  In fact, that's one of the major
recurring themes of a paper of mine that will appear in the April '89
issue of Computer Communications Review.  (Aside:  Craig Partridge,
the editor, posted a blurb for several articles in that issue to
comp.protocols.tcp-ip, as well as information on how to join SIGCOMM
and get the journal.)
