I'm not sure you fully understood the response - they could go to _YOUR_ site, and run a cgi-bin script which simply spit back "Your external IP address is %%%%." In fact, such a script would be very very simple, something like: ---- snip ---- #!/bin/sh echo "Content-type: text/html" echo "" echo "Your IP address is <b>$REMOTE_ADDR</b>." ---- snip ---- I just dropped it into an Apache cgi-bin directory, and it worked first time off.
