For a quick run-down of 3rd-party PCI compliance, this article doesn't do too bad, with one major exception:Quoting:1. The web site and database housing the credit card information need to be on separate servers.... 2. The database server must be on a private IP range. This would be 10.x.x.x, 192.x.x.x, or 127.16.x.xThat last should be 172.16.x.x, which is Class B local networking. 127-dot-anything is the local host, which would violate requirement 1. Sadly, having no comments and no way to contact the author directly, the article loses some important feedback features that make the Web such a boon. |

gus, Looks like they read LXer. The line now reads "2. The database server must be on a private IP range. This would be 10.x.x.x, 192.x.x.x, or 172.16.x.x" Good work! |

I did also send a message through the "Contact us" form. All I could hope was that whoever reads those messages could either fix it, or send it to a fixer. |
