Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Just a quick question: what is a 'grey' IP address?

I am doing some VPN work and a remote office uses what they called 'grey' IP addresses. No idea what that means.

Thanks

I belive you mean greylisting IP's. This refers to making Ip unavail for a timeout period to fool hackers spammers the connection is dead. Truth be said a grey IP is live but on a delay.
