[cod] cod2 master server

[stalvi]

Is this server at your home?   Is it behind a home router?

I do find it interesting that the master server fails a reverse  
lookup to get it's name:

stalvi$ nslookup 63.146.124.40
Server:         xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Address:      xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx#53

** server can't find 40.124.146.63.in-addr.arpa: NXDOMAIN

But resolves fine doing a forward:

stalvi$ nslookup cod2master.activision.com
Server:         xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Address:      xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   cod2master.activision.com
Address: 63.146.124.40


That may be nothing, but if COD uses the IP number to connect, it  
could cause some problems.
