[clug] strange host name

[Kim Holburn]

I did say, I see it from outside netspeed to it's an advertised DNS  
record which is wrong.  You're not supposed to advertise private IPs  
outside your network.

I have seen techniques like that used for malware blocking but this  
just seems wrong.  Call netspeed.  They've stuffed it up.
