[WriteLog] IP Address

The answer is quite simple.  WRITELOG uses a virtual HTTP server.  This
means that many sites share the same IP address and the server determines
which site to use by the HTTP headers which have the URL transmitted in
them.  So, you cannot access www.writelog.com by IP address.
