Speaking of IPv6 it will be one of the next technologies to be added to
the CCIE lab. Say bye to the 3920 and hello to IPv6.

It's an obfuscated form of 156.111.114.110, which resolves to
trinity.cpmc.columbia.edu. The URL of

http://trinity.cpmc.columbia.edu/r2/cisco/ccie/NewPlaque01.jpg

gets you the same thing.

This is a trick often used by spammers to try to hide URLs advertised in
junk email. I don't know why the sender went to the trouble of doing
this here, unless there was a desire to hide the origin of
Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center. This doesn't make sense as
it was posted from an nyp.org address.
