Weird conn test ping output

Today I have a conn test that is saying this:
x.x.105.219 is alive (54.7 ms) [<- x.x.98.226]

The history has always said this:
x.x.105.XXX

What's with the square bracket IP???

Hi all
 I was asked this morning if we can authenticate Hobbit users against our
company LDAP or NIS.
We have multiple hobbit "administrators" and it would be good to keep
track of who acknowledged or updated issues, but maintaining the
passwords manually will be a pain.
 Has anybody done this before?
If so, how?
 Regards
    Vernon

And authentication to AD is also Apache's job, I presume?
 I am seeing a pattern evolving here :-)
 Thanks

Assuming you are using apache as your webserver then yes, it will handle authentication to Active Directory. You can go with plain LDAP authentication
which is easier to setup or if you want single-sign-on then you go with kerberos authentication.
I'd say go with LDAP to begin with, you'll be up and running in no time. There are a lot of howtos out there on the matter.

Cheers,
Omar

I've actually got our Hobbit authing against AD by using LDAP.  Works very
well.

mod_authnz_ldap is the way to go. I can send you a sanitized hobbit.conf if
you like to show how we did it...

I've done it on RHEL3 using Apache::AuthNetLDAP and RHEL5 using
mod_authz_ldap
