hotshot has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hello,
Can anyone explain why does gethostbyname returns that an address of 1.1 or 1.1.1 or any other combination of numbers separated by dots, are valid hosts (it returns the array of $name, $aliases...), Is there no validation that this host realy exists.
