Using 1.5.9.

My Gargoyle installation is reporting a host 7.47.244.1 with an active connection. I have no such IP address on my home LAN.

A look-up shows this as being a US military IP address. What is the explanation?

Google: Rogers DOD

Some of the 7 block is apparently being used by Rogers without changing the ARIN registration. Its proably a gateway server.

My gateway server shows up in the connection list briefly after obtaining a new DHCP lease from my ISP, Verizon.
