NO! I am NOT talking about the visited hosts, but the machine htdig runs from.
To make it clear once again: the machine collecting the html-files with
htdig is our webserver, which is one of a pool of machines with names like
rv31xz, rv32xz etc. the active one has an alias name www. So when htdig
makes a hostname lookup whats the name of the machine it is running on,
it gets back this cryptic rv32xz name and NOT the alias www.
Admins of a REMOTE server see entries in their logfiles like the one
marked with BAD on top of this message. I want to give the htdig-program
a dedicated server name, thats what I am looking for.
Still need help!
