Yes, it's useful, but one has to understand what it really does to 
understand what's going on. Saying "It shows the IP address used to 
connect" (as was stated in the initial post) is just not true. Well, per 
some definition it might be, if one implies "the first IP used", if this 
connection attempt fails then the webpage might very well be loaded from 
sone other IP (as was in my example).
