The IP address can't be a major key: my host is a laptop that I use both at work and at home (and sometimes at other sites), so the IP address changes a lot. In my case, the IP address listed on the host page is always the internal IP address, not the address of the firewall. It is the last IP address I have sent a result from.
The funny thing is, beneath the IP address it says "same the last XXX times", while I'm sure that the last time was from another IP address (I watched it change after sending in a WU). My laptop may have USED the address XXX times, but that's not what the text suggests...
