The local interface that the request is going out on.

Good--because I'm using the domain name.

Here's the deal. I'm trying to send an xml file to the Medical
Information Bureau (MIB) via a POST with SSL. MIB has requested that we
send them the IP that we are going to make the request with. We've got
the certificate that MIB sent us installed into the DCM, and everything
is good. But whenever I run the program (a clone of EXAMPLE8), I'm
getting a timeout trying to connect to the MIB server. So, I thought
that perhaps the IP of the local interface that the request is going out
on might be different than the IP we gave MIB to watch out for.

However, I see via Navigator that the IP that the request is going out
on is correct. Yet we're still timing out. 

Any ideas??
