In addition to Fairlight's comments, your solution will not allow for multiple
queries. If I add in the commented line, I could allow for 4 more inquires to
be gotten in 1 pass.
Your solution also assumes that this site will never be moved from this ip
address. I would rather have a DNS server resolve the actual ip address just in
case UPS moves this site.
