Thanks for the advice. I'm usually reluctant to use IP's because that's what DNS is for. It's a bit of a pain to have to go back and fix a bunch of things when somebody decides to change an IP address. Is it better to use IP's in this list; is there something I'm missing here?
I appreciate the input. I'll test the IP thing anyway and see what happens. Yet, I am curious; why would I get those error messages in the logs with the "NULL" field? What is happening when such an entry is generated in the log, especially with values ranging from NULL to any IP/hostname?
