Second, it's beeing a little too transparent as the MAC adress may reveal the server's manufacturer, approximate manufacturing tdate, or the network controler model. Some may use it as a clue to design a proper exploit...
Security by obscurity isn't *bad*, it's just one small component of a Defense in Depth, still worth using if you can. Necessary, but not sufficient. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
