I'm not sure I understand your pronoun references.  Do you mean to say 
that the vlserver shotguns both IPs at the client because that bit of 
code is unable to discern external or internal client requests in a NAT 
environment?

Cool.  Now I get to learn about debian backports which I heard are 
pretty cool.

Was the list server down or did everyone take a break for a few days?
