Yep ... that's what I've discoverd:

http://www.webdav.org/specs/draft-leach-uuids-guids-01.txt

from section 3.5 ... I was assuming there was some way to parse and decrypt
the mac address from:


"The following is an example of the string representation of a UUID:
f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6"

the 00a0c91e6bf6

being the mac address of the computer.

He's looking for a MAC address, cpu id, etc. something to fix the identity
of the remote host.
Nobody's up and told him that it just isn't possible. Which from the
mod_perl books and documentation I've read... appears to be the case.
