I'm getting 216.52.242.80. Looks legit:

  [prhodes@captainchaos ~]$ whois   216.52.242.80@whois.arin.net
  [Querying whois.arin.net]
  [whois.arin.net]

  LinkedIn Corporation INAP-LAX-LINKEDIN-38682 (NET-216-52-  242-0-1) 216.52.242.0 - 216.52.242.255
  Internap Network Services Corporation PNAP-8-98 (NET-216-52-0-0-1) 216.52.0.0 - 216.52.255.255

Doing an nslookup here in Vancouver, Canada got me this:

Non-authoritative answer: Name: linkedin.com Address: 216.52.242.86

Does that mean I'm still pointing to the legitimate server?
