At the moment, this is the exclusion list: exclude4 = ('PRIVATE', 'RESERVED') exclude6 = ('LINKLOCAL', 'UNSPECIFIED', 'LOOPBACK', 'MULTICAST') (The above acronyms are defined in the IPy Python module, see https://github.com/haypo/python-ipy/blob/master/IPy.py for details.) Please speak up if you have justification for other networks to be excluded. Note that it's very difficult to apply the above filters to perfection; a sophisticated enough user may be able to find ways around it. Retards, Robert
