Please help us keep Internet safer and cleaner by leaving a descriptive comment about 23.201.57.50 IP address
DNSBL* - is a list of IP addresses published through the Internet Domain Name Service (DNS) either as a zone file that can be used by DNS server software, or as a live DNS zone that can be queried in real-time. DNSBLs are most often used to publish the addresses of computers or networks linked to spamming; most mail server software can be configured to reject or flag messages which have been sent from a site listed on one or more such lists.
WHOIS** - is a query/response protocol that is widely used for querying databases in order to determine the registrant or assignee of Internet resources, such as a domain name, an IP address block, or an autonomous system number. WHOIS lookups were traditionally performed with a command line interface application, and network administrators predominantly still use this method, but many simplified web-based tools exist. WHOIS services are typically communicated using the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Servers listen to requests on the well-known port number 43.
** Approximate Geographic Location - This is NOT the exact geographical location of the person/organization with the given IP address. However, this should still give you a good idea about the area/region where this person/orgranization is located.
Complaint by Jeffrey Small :
This seems to be used in proxy filtering solutions of bluehost. It only shows up in logs for unencrypted traffic that I have been able to tell so far. Traffic going thru the filter will see a hit on the exact url from this out of browser chain IP before the browsers actual request hits the web server. This IP gets logged by Apache before this client actually trying to connect. I believe this is similar to a RBL check. The proxy contacts bluecoat then bluecoat contacts the url server to prefilter content before allowing the actual browser request to go thru. Does not seem to affect browser request if IP is blocked by the web server of the url.
