Hi all... Just a quick question for those of you whose ISPs give you a reverse lookup of the DNS from which your websites have been hit. 1. What is the domain name that TLG shows up as when your site is hit by them? Cheers, Ralph Hempel - P.Eng (...) (25 years ago, 12-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Well, Ralph, I'm not really sure- I've served 12967 pages of the HOWTO as of today, so there are a lot of logs to go through. However, I can say with certainty that it is not lego.com, as there are no records of any hits on my site from there. I can (...) (25 years ago, 12-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Maybe TLG doesn't care about NQC :-) that's why they don't show up as lego.com...ha ha ha. Seriously, that's what got me curious too. Think about it. Here's a group of folks they can get design ideas from, and yet NOBODY I know of has ever had (...) (25 years ago, 12-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

I've kept every http log file since the dawn of time (1994) but most don't have reverse lookups. I've never been tempted to do reverse lookups on the LEGO related pages. I have on some other sites I run for personal amusement. I have never access (...) (25 years ago, 12-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) It might just be company policy that the internet is not used for web browsing at work. Some places do that. You might want to expand your search to domains that point to key geographical regions which may indicate employee usage. For that (...) (25 years ago, 12-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

=>From: "Ralph Hempel" <rhempel@bmts.com> =>... =>Any of the other high-hit sites have a reverse DNS capability? Anybody (well, *almost* anybody) has reverse DNS capability. High-hit sites don't often have the reverse lookup turned on, since it's (...) (25 years ago, 12-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Once, after doing too many nights of research at the Lego web site, I used that domain as an example in a System admin class I was teaching. I showed the folks in the class how to setup a secondary DNS and just for fun (and since I'd been so (...) (25 years ago, 12-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Hmmm...companies like that might want to get a clue. The web is a great way to figure out what the competition is doing, or if anyone who you don't even know is competing with you is going to swamp your company with a cool new product... Check (...)

(...) Our web server recorded 80 hits from inside lego.com during Sep/Oct/Nov of last year. All hits were from a single machine. My top-level page was hit 10 times. I suspect all of these hits were from a single person. -Kekoa (25 years ago, 13-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
