Getting tons if IP's 127.255.255.255

Post by GeXus »

I have a little click tracking script, and I just noticed that I have TONS of IP's (like 90%) that are 127.255.255.255, I'm getting the IP by using $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']

Any ideas why this would be?

Thanks!

127.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255 is marked as loopback, and not used by anyone.

A simple google search turned up something similar, dealing with transferring the database to a different server, 32bit to 64bit.
