But that raises the concerns that sparked this whole thing off...by doing
an inverse mapping to an invalid name, you in a sense "cover" your tracks,
as all the logs (unless someone uses a modified logger) list the site as
the name instead of the address, and the name cannot be mapped back. Now,
I happen to do a last on my system, and see tons of ftp sessions to several
users accounts from a site whose name cannot be traced. Do I just sit back
and wonder what is going on or do I try and figure it out? I simply slip in
a new ftpd with better logging and see what comes out. Then, with that
information in hand I begin to find out...
