I don't think you can, there's no pattern. You could rotate your server address using a very short DNS TTL, though the attacker can follow the changes using DNS so this isn't all that useful even if it would be fun.
But if the attacker also followed the changes, then he'd have to be constantly querying a name server that presumably is somewhat easier to monitor than some router at some other provider. Although, I guess a smart attacker would compile a list of thousands of servers that he could randomly select from that would happily forward the request for him, so we're back to pretty much the same old random random source problem. It almost seems like it could be a good idea. -- Matt Ranney - mjr () eit com This is how I sign all my messages. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
