Question about Host Caches

I was putting in host cache's and what is the difference between these two, they both have the same IP address.

gnutella.hostscache.com
gnutella-again.hostscache.com

also do the connect1.gnutellanet.com through connect5...com come from the above?
 
Actually, they do appear to be the same hosts (connect1..5 @ gnutellanet.com that is). I gather this because of the number of same pongs I receive when connecting to them all within a short timespan. Also appears to be BearShare that's running those host caches.
 
Sorry about the wording. What I meant was if you connect to gnutella.hostscache.com would you get the same IP's to connect to that you would get if you connected with connect1-5?
 
I agree that it is bearshare that is running it but when I tested it I did not get many duplicates. In fact only connect1 returned duplicates of itself ( ran two tries on each one ). I have attached the results of my test. This does not mean they are all different but makes me more curious. Also I could not get a connection to connect5 ( which happens to be in a different ip block ).
 
I blocked any and all bearshare clients to hell and so those host caches don't work for me anymore.
I won't have anything to do with bearshare, so I use Gnucleus and it uses a new host cache system that makes bearshare look like crap.
only open source clients would try to create a cache system where a central CORPORATION has NO CONTROL over gnutella connections.
