Ok, cool, you've vindicated yourself :-) - you're designing for a very specific internal audience (or at least it is until your employer hires somebody that's unable to use IE).

If you've already resolved the IP address of the hostname, you may wish to try using the "title" attribute of hypertext links - something like the following (which validates just fine):

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w
+3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
        <head>
                <title>HTML Test</title>
                <meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equ
+iv="Content-Type" />
        </head>
<body>

<div>
<a href="http://www.perlmonks.org/" title="209.197.123.153">Testing</a
+>
</div>
</body>
</html>

This pops up a "tooltip"-style help box containing the "title" string when you hover your mouse over the link (assuming you've got one). I'd make the link target a HTML page that also produces the same information, so that people who can't use the title information can still get the IP address etc.

It's not easy to juggle a pregnant wife and a troubled child, but somehow I managed to fit in eight hours of TV a day.
