To me too.

Before posting I had a (heavy) look at the source code, but I'm 
definitely not a developer (and additionally my first name isn't Luke 
;-) ), so this is something hard for me.

However, I may have missed something, but I didn't see anything in that 
portion of code related to respecting privacy about client IP addresses.

As you say in your other message, Gert, the way I understand it, 
something should definitely be printed between those square brackets, so 
this is quite strange.

The person who had problems connecting told me that now it's ok for him, 
it kind of "repaited itself". I probably will never know what was wrong 
but well... The thing is: it works but I still get this warning message 
from time to time in my server logs, and only for *his* connection. Not 
any other...

If it's a routing problem, I wonder why he is the only affected person. 
I'll ask him to send his client logs, maybe I can match the event to 
something on the client side.

Thanks for your answers anyway.

Best regards,

Bruno
