they're not. they're using stock RH, iianm. the "IP" they're referring to 
is the administration UI (somewhat like webmin) which they've built to 
configure their boxen. i really can't say more, but anyone using it could 
easily grok the complexity (or lack thereof, and thus the value) of said "IP".
