It's the address of the external IP we're translated to after leaving
our network. I believe I've compiled curl without IPv6 support:

curl 7.11.0 (i586-mandrake-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.11.0 OpenSSL/0.9.7c
zlib/1.2.1
Protocols: ftp gopher telnet dict ldap http file https ftps
Features: SSL libz NTLM

but I've been wrong before so I may be wrong again in the future.

There's one other thing; the application on the other side of this
transaction is trying to send information back through a specific port.
I was worried that since we're NAT'ing addresses out that the port it's
trying to send back on is in use or otherwise unavailable and is causing
the transfer to fail. I have another IP address reserved solely for this
transaction and I'm waiting on them to add it to their inclusion list so
I can test this theory. Is this all I can do at this point, or does
anyone have some wicked kungfu I can try?

<snip> Of course they say that. </snip>

The only reason they're even humoring me on this is my blanket refusal
to even consider another option until I'm satisfied this truly won't
work. I can be a fantastic jerk when I set my mind to it. :)

I work at a healthcare provider that gets audited about once every two
months. The warning is either a Sarbox or Hipaa requirement they tack on
to all outgoing emails.

Is this address one of your machine's local interfaces? Is this curl
version
ipv6-enabled? If you answered NO and YES, you're likely to suffer from
this
bug:

Of course they say that.

As Dan said, they do the exact opposites. What would happen if both
could be
used?
