I'm not sure why this concerns you as only you can see it.
As for me, I like seeing the IP. It has helped me at times when I've needed to access that machine remotely.

(edited because I misread what you were saying)


Hmm, i may have not explained the circumstance completely.....

I have access to dozens of servers of customers before the servers get "productive" or before they even get delivered to the customers. Mostly for a time period of a week or severals weeks.

Some of them are already installed with the customer domain, some not. Whatever, i dislike that the domain name get out of the network. This I called before an "indiscretion", at the most when its not really needed for the project. I'm not care about the hostname and also not care about the IP. A proper firewall will does his work there usually.

I saw the hostnames listed in my stats......complete with the domain name.

Are this really needed ?

Only the hostname would be better for me.............the complete domain could be sometimes an indiscretion.

I know that normal visitor can't see it at my stats, but its still data that not must be sent over the firewall out of the network and furthermore it will be not needed for the project or i'm wrong ?
