On getting internal IP:
Besides misconfigured DNS and snmp, are there any other ways to find out internal host IP?

Sometimes requesting non-existent files using HTTP (you don't say the servers are running this, but...) can reveal internal IP addresses in the error messages.

Also, if it's an Apache webserver, the test-cgi and printenv CGI scripts can be used for information gathering purposes. If it's IIS, hell, go for Unicode MS00-078 or MS01-026. :)
