I thought of that, but the machine has "dhcp" in its DNS hostname, which
made me think "client system":

203.50.0.215  ==  rsdhcp21.telstra.net

Thankfully, it seems that either my post here or my messages to Telstra

just finally woke up and took their worm box down -- at least, it isn't
phl00ding us any more.
