Once upon a time Tim Hodges, Triangle Telephone Cooperative Assoc. shaped the electrons to say...
>S9 P7msubce 208.136.183.231 Netwrk In ESTABLISHED 2:46 0
>S10 Pwilcox1 pm2-235.ttc-cmc. Netwrk In ESTABLISHED 6 0
>S11 Pvanwyman 208.136.183.214 Netwrk In ESTABLISHED 1:48 0
>Question: why does it show the IP address for some connections and the full
>name for others?

Because we don't sit and wait for DNS to answer for all of the IPs before
showing them. And we cache responses. The ones showing as IPs are either
not in DNS, or we just didn't get a reply back fast enough.
