That is a very fair point, one which I hadn't considered. I would imagine that it would be possible for BT (or whichever ISP) to duplicate an IP range internally and route traffic to there instead of the real ip address (although this would only work internal to BT's network as you say). I'm not sure what purpose that would serve though and given the sites that we know are on that server I think it would be unlikely they would be doing that.

I am sure checks could be done from a BT line and non-BT line to compare the two though.
