A method of evaluating a network configuration, comprising:
- receiving an address message at a configuration server from a client system through a network, where the address message includes first address information and second address information for the client system;
- extracting the first address information and the second address information from the address message at the configuration server;
- and
- evaluating the address information at the configuration server including comparing the first address information and the second address information.
A computer program, stored on a tangible storage medium, for use in evaluating a network configuration, the program comprising executable instructions that cause a computer to:
- receive an address message from a client system through a network, where the address message includes first address information and second address information for the client system;
- extract the first address information and the second address information from the address message;
- and
- evaluate the address information including comparing the first address information and the second address information.
A configuration server, comprising:
- means for receiving data from a client system through a network, including receiving an address message that includes first address information and second address information for the client system;
