iis security : IIS 6.0 leaks internal IP address in Content-Location header

Hello,

I have an IP leak problem running IIS 6.0 on W2K3 SP1. I have followed
recomendations in KB218180 and KB834141 and configured SetHostName so that
my websites do
not return internal IP addresses. I have also configured host headers for
my websites.

But, my server still returns a private IP in the response to the following
request:
HEAD / HTTP/1.0

I can't find any other solutions beyond the above. Does anyone have any
suggestions?

KB218180 is for IIS4 and IIS5.

KB834141 is for IIS6, but also requires the hotfix. However, that hotfix is
pre-SP1 - SP1 includes newer versions of both of those files.

I remember going through both of those articles, and some others. If I
remember, I'll post details. As of right now, there is no Content-Location:
header returned by my sites - and I don't have a custom ISAPI dll installed.
