Re: Curiosity about smtp.comcast.net
Yeah I know all about the AT&T backbone, I wasn't pointing out those hops. I was pointing out the 14th hop and 15th hop. The 14th hop has always resolved to attbi.com so I doubt it is a recently bought system I think they just never changed it. I am in an ex-attbi area (Atlanta) and for about a year after Comcast bought us our attbi.com emails still worked, they just forwarded to the comcast.net emails. Granted that has been a few years since that was shut off but it could be a remnant.
I just thought of this, the attbi.com hop is the router between AT&T and the Comcast equipment. Hops 15 and 16 are the same machine. The webserver itself has a private IP (192.168.64.2) but also has a 1-1 NAT in the router giving it a public IP. If I remember correctly when I do a tracert to my webserver at the office that is setup with a private IP and a 1-1 NAT it responds similarly. The only difference is it responds twice but with it's public IP only like it should. |
