[e2e]where can i find an ip or host address list?

[RJ Atkinson]

	You need to get advance permission from the legitimate owner/operator
of any host you might probe.  To run a probe of someone else's system 
without
specific advance permission could  violate the law and is certainly 
anti-social
behaviour.

	I would suggest you reconsider your experiment design and invent a 
different
experiment design that does not require you to probe so many hosts -- 
and ideally
a way that does not require you to probe any other people's hosts.
