      I was in an irc channel and some guy came in who apparently was causing trouble, and some of us gave him some lip, and while it may not have been him, I started seeing weird entries show up that I hadn't seen before and I was wondering if someone could interpret them for me.

      Here is a brief sampling.  em0 is my wan nic.

      If I recall correctly 10.xxx.xxx.xxx is a private address and shouldn't be passed by any internet routers, so how could I be getting dhcp requests on my wan from a private IP?  All my stuff runs on 192.168.1.0 subnet internally.

        This is standard DHCP traffic by your ISP and normal.

        We do what we must, because we can.
