Hi Rajani,

Long time! Links SQL does not enforce links to be unique because a lot of people don't want that. Take for instance a listing in the DBMan Sites In Action category, and a Links Sites In Action category. The entries have the same URL (to the persons home page), but different title + description. There are lots of cases where you would want two separate listings with the same URL.

As for checking the IP, nowadays alot of people use name based hosts so this is not an option.

Cheers,

Alex
