Know-it-all asshats

One of my biggest pet peeves other than anonymous cowards is the know-it-all asshat. The other night I was trying to find out why some mail from me was being rejected and was picking over the various RBL check sites when I ran across a weird check for my IP. This check led me a post concerning one of the websites I host. Jonnyx has organized the space and science tracks for Dragon*Con for a long while and does so partly through madscientist.org.uk which is part of my web hosting stuff. All that aside this dumbshit decided he knows how the internet works and how I have my stuff setup and decided to play internet detective badmouthing my abilities to manage a server. Well a quick note to Jonnyx and I feel somewhat vindicated as his response to these clowns was quite sharp. Now to remedy this situation in the future I added a little code to my wilpig.com site tonight so it will be really evident should someone try to hit it by IP again. http://173.14.96.225/

Now to explain my setup. My reverse lookup for 173.14.96.225 is set to wilpig.org because at the time I didn't own wilpig.com AND the main reason is to make the email work as my primary mail server calls itself "WILPIG.ORG". Most mail servers properly setup now reject mail from any source that doesn't have a proper reverse lookup. Now then... if you hit the web server by IP you get wilpig.com not wilpig.org because I would like to make a little money from hosting and page design. So there you have it. My stuff isn't thrown together it is actually pretty well thought out. Previously I had it set to default to http://blueboy.wilpig.org but that really has no meaning to anyone but me.
