Put only domain names in allowed hosts

Thank you - that makes me feel better.

Can you tell me why the error is appearing? Is it some sort of hacking attempt?

    ALLOWED_HOSTS.

    ... where '111.222.333.444. is the correct IP address of the FQDN
    for the site.

    Everything seems to be working but these errors are just consuming
    disk space.

    My reading of the docs
    https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/settings/#allowed-hosts
    does not indicate the IP address should be in ALLOWED_HOSTS.

    My inclination is it shouldn't be there.

    What is the correct way to deal with this?

    Many thanks
