[ale] Ok, this is wierd...

[Christopher Bergeron]

Can anyone explain why this is happening?  If I ping 192.168.2.20 (two 
dot twenty) I get 100% packet loss.  However, when I ping 192.168.2.020 
(two dot zero-two-zero) I get 0 % packet loss. Detail below.

[root at tomahawk /root]$ ping 192.168.2.20
PING 192.168.2.20 (192.168.2.20) from 192.168.1.50 : 56(84) bytes of data.

round-trip min/avg/max/mdev = 58.346/59.151/59.957/0.841 ms

Ok, now I know it's Monday AM, but is Murphy already up at this hour 
just to throw a wrench in my day?

Any leads are appreciated...
