Posting your real domain name and IP addresses certainly will - make
a note not to do this in the future. Use generics, like:
www.domain1.com --> xxx.xxx.xxx.x27
www.domain2.com --> xxx.xxx.xxx.x28
Keep in mind that you're posting to a security list, which is
archived and searchable through quite a few interfaces on the Net -
announcing that you're not sure about your security and then handing
out the domain and/or IP is like ringing the dinner bell for hackers.
