Noob question. Would that request travel over the internet or is it resolved locally?

That's a WAN IP, so it would be resolved by external DNS then routed back

Why are you mentioning dns? This is an ip request, no need to contact a dns server

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because the title mentions having a domain, I guess.

Yes, that was the train of thought I was on. I equated "find" to "resolve" and I've been dutifully chastised.
