I'm very sensitive to the 'challenge' issue. For example, the IP address
used by our HA system has never, ever been used for public purposes like
email, usenet, web hosting. I wonder what safeguards other folks take to
protect their IP's and gateways. Important issue in my opinion.

And, Ok. It was not nice of me to write what I wrote.

We don't _have_ a garage ...

(Too much car habitat in this country already.)
