G'Day Guys

I'm a newbie here so hope !'m ! breaking any rules posting about a LAN ?

I was checking a regional SA iinet DHCP set static IP config.& noticed that
the GW is 203.217.8.255 in Tasmania.

They are iinet customer 4 15+ years & have 9 static IPs

If I tracert 203-217-8-bcast.perm.iinet.net.au ( 203.217.8.255 ) the 1st
few hops r prefix 'adl-' so IT seems that having a state prefix is
important at iiNET as far as host naming conventions go.

Customer has a photo & screen shot of the router they had setup approx. 10
years ago & GW ( again DHCP set ) from this setup is a host with the prefix
'adl-'

iinet bus. support are saying ' No Problem ' to fix & will not provide a
Gateway IP 4 SA customers, but will provide DNS server IPs

I was part of a team that managed the most popular website in the southern
hemisphere & the largest windows server / vmware network in the southern
hemisphere so I know about vmotion etc. & why we need to keep secrets but
why does iinet have a secret SA gateway !!!

Any1 else in SA who has an iinet customer & can check their routers GW IP ?

TIA
