Okay. There was 1 reference to a login from "gateway.zefox.net"
as a "Last login", as reported by a ns1.zefox.net login sequence.

It now shows:

|-50.1.20.29 ns1.zefox.net Pi2 12.3 armv7 ftdi usb-serial----50.1.20.27
|-50.1.20.30 ns2.zefox.net Pi2 12.3 armv7 2303 usb-serial----50.1.20.29
|-50.1.20.27 www.zefox.net Pi2 12.3 armv7 2303 usb-serial----50.1.20.26

But it later lists the older/inaccurate numbering as well:

 50.1.20.30 ns1.zefox.net Pi2 v1.1
. . .
 50.1.20.29 ns2.zefox.net Pi2 v1.1
. . .
 50.1.20.27 www.zefox.net Pi2 v1.1

Definitely improved description of the context, thanks.
