[opensource-dev] s3-proxy.lindenlab.com points to a private IP address?

[Glimmering Sands]

Well, I have discovered, through the wonders of Mr. Google, that there
is an older copy autobuild.xml out there at:

https://bitbucket.org/merov_linden/viewer-autobuild2010/src/44f214103cff/autobuild.xml

and I was able to simply use the

http://s3.amazonaws.com/viewer-source-downloads/install_pkgs/...

lines for both fmod and kdu (would it be considered a bug that Linden
Labs is distributing an autobuild.xml that uses internal only paths
rather than using the external paths (that I guessed the used to
have?)

One can also wonder why you would let internal DNS records be allowed
to external sites as well...

Sometime later I will discover if this solves my grey goo box problem or not :-)

Hugs,

Glimmering
