Topic: Unknown IP address within code

Hi,

I want to know why we have this IP in this code? version: 2.3.25 file: \gl\includes\db\gl_db_rates.inc Unknown code: $site="172.230.157.137";

I think it is also on new beta version of FA too.


Regards,
Turkel.

Re: Unknown IP address within code

In case the DNS resolver fails, the IP is the standby for it.
Check the function get_extern_rate in the said file.

If curl fails why we are not try it with fopen and if it also fails we can sleep(10) and try again or just return. IP will load script for unknown period without result.

Re: Unknown IP address within code

DNS poisoning, blacklisting and simply it's temporary non availability have made us use this choice and order. Timeouts are not because of IP but some setting - php.ini, httpd.conf, etc.
