Thanks.  I knew I wasn't crazy and seriously doubted that my sniffer was
inventing these packets just to piss me off.

As stated before:

[OverKill]:/# nslookup www.stefcam.com
Server:  NS1.ENTERZONE.NET
Address:  209.41.244.5

Name:    STEFCAM.COM
Address:  209.41.244.238
Aliases:  www.stefcam.com

[OverKill]:/# nslookup 209.41.244.238
Server:  NS1.ENTERZONE.NET
Address:  209.41.244.5

Name:    StefCAM.Com
Address:  209.41.244.238

By the way, Stronghold will refuse to bind to an address that does not
reverse so, I knew it was right even before the lookup.
