In one implementation, a method of evaluating a network configuration includes: receiving an address message at a configuration server from a client system through a network, where the address message includes first address information and second address information for the client system; extracting the first address information and the second address information from the address message at the configuration server; and evaluating the address information at the configuration server including comparing the first address information and the second address information.
