[ip: 172.17.1.9]

I'm not saying it isn't powerful, but if you need all this, you need a full-strength standard programming language. At least, I'd rather go to someone and say "hire me, I know Python" rather than "I need to install non-standard patches to bash to do anything".
BTW, my IP is 172.17.x.x instead of 172.16.x.x for the strange reason that I used to dial in to a network that had a 172.16.x.x masquerading subnet, and I had 172.16.x.x on my LAN. I used Windows back then and couldn't get my PC to route to the dial-up because it was already routing to the LAN gateway. So I switched my LAN to 172.17.x.x and didn't have problems. This was long ago, and I use Linux now, and just left everything so I wouldn't have to re-do my LAN. Now you know. I have no idea why linux.com uses the useless masquerading IP instead of the gateway IP. A ha-ha-only-serious joke about how easy it is to spoof? I could easily give my masquerade LAN --your-- IP subnet, use squid, and spoof you.
