 Which brings us back to the question of where the key log line has
 disappeared to.

 The log line which says "Host header forgery from $C ($A does not match
 $B)"

 What those $ values are is important to how to fix it. $C is the
 connection details needed to isolate the machine to investigate. $A and
 $B the details which it is getting wrong.
