Strange Masternode IP address / BUG?

As part of the analysis I preform on my site at www.darkcoin.cm, often come across anomalies that I can't explain, and so I'm hoping that one of the Core Devs can shed some light with this case.

The masternode address is: XhqPktQB371k6Qj2ECDXk15BHq5c9Y4X3g and it's IP address is 192.168.1.115

That IP comes right out the RFC1918 private IP address space which should technically NOT be talking to the masternode mesh network, because we can all setup 192.168.x addresses and screw things up for the masternode mesh network.

I think this is a bug that should be addressed as soon as the devs can find out how this happened, because who ever is running this is a ghost and got a payment in today. I may be totally wrong and this is some new feature being tested...

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of the IP address space for private internets:

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix)
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix)
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix)

agreed there is or was a node like this on testnet as well, we should open a bug report. However the address does have the required 1k dark
 
I just found another issue... if it's actually an issue.

We have two masternodes running off one IP...

Is that a new feature with start-many? It was causing the parser on my site to break

"107.170.170.56:9999" : "Xn9BRiN3Fh1xneATMwPsDWqPeYCDdfbSBC"
"107.170.170.56:9999" : "XpAuiyrgmrihtc9DFotzpMGzGkfePUKnzr"

I block duplicates for IPs and masternode records
 
Any word on this? I still see Masternodes using internal IP addresses, and I still see multiple masternodes using the same external IP address's, I am guessing they are running behind a router.

Huh, dead-thread resurrection?

According to dash-cli masternode list full and the always correct http://178.254.18.153/~pub/Dash/masternode_payments_stats.html we have neither internal IPs nor double IPs.

Care to share a screenshot with your findings?
