[Opensim-users] SoaS offline question & shiny helm

[Cider Jack]

Hi Sarge,
Looked in seven .ini files and couldn't find 'SYSTEMIP' anywhere, and
all IP addresses I did find were already pointing to 127.0.0.1. If I
misunderstood and 'SYSTEMIP' was used as a placeholder in this
context, I still didn't see any IP addresses that weren't pointing
home.
