Hello!
We recently saw a burst in traffic coming from our devices to the IP address 8.252.90.248. Our security and network analysis team suggested that HP add a reverse DNS record linking to ftp.ext.hp.com (ultimately, this IP address resolves to cdn.ext.hp.com.c.footprint.net, though).
With such an information registered in DNS, our team would have found quicker that the traffic was legitime and tied to HP Image Assistant running on a number of devices simultaneously and downloading numerous voluminous softpaqs from HP's public repository.
Hope this comment would be taken into account!
