But the way I do my shortening does not allow for something like this to happen. (I have not mentioned this in my original message, sorry.) The shortening can only remove components from the address. So an address like a.b.c.d.e can be shortened to a.c.d.e or a.d.e but not x.y.z. So I think this prevents these kinds of problems from happening. Ram.
