I don't want to hide the IPs completely. I want to REPLACE the internal IP that is no one's business with the external IP that is already known. No reliance on DNS there. And sorry to have brought up the idea of hiding internal IPs. I didn't mean to startup a security debate in an anti-spam list over a relatively minor issue. I still stand by my original analogy comparing it to posting a big map outside your house pointing to the location of your safe. I'd rather not do that, and obviously other people don't feel the same way.
