That's not quite what I had in mind, but yes, host161-10 could be
defined locally on your servers host file, or be defined locally on
it's DNS server. If you can put your own cgi-scripts of the server,
you could ask your web server to resolve that name back to a number,
and see what it returns - it's probably local to your hosting
provider.
