Under the domains key, there are two types of keys - one named for the IP
address, and one with the host name. Both point to each other, i.e., the
Address entry contains the official host name, and the host name contains
the IP address.
You can change the values contained in those keys by just double-clicking on
them and changing the info. What it sounds like is you want to rename one
of those keys. You can't do that using regedt32 - you have to open the
registry using regedit.
I just went through extensive registry hacking because my ISP went belly-up
and I had to change the IP addresses, and convert some IP hosts to IPLess
virtual hosts. It's not all that difficult or dangerous to edit the
registry, as long as you remember to: 1. Back it up! 2. Back it up! and
3. Be careful, and Back it up!

Subject: [IMail Forum] MX Connect Fail
Hi. All of a sudden I'm getting MX Connect Fail messages, so I go in
and look and somehow my official hostname's IP Address got set to
192.168.0.2. So I changed it back to 216.242.16.196 and it appears to
be working, but I'm still seeing some MX Connect Fails.
I read the article at Ipswitch:
To correct the problem go into the registry to the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ipswitch\IMail\Domains
key and change references to the internal IP address to the external
IP address.
Exactly how do I do that? There are 2 keys under that are named as IP
Addresses. The 2 IPs above. I can't change the 192.168.0.2 address to
216.242.16.196. So, exactly what would I change it to? There are no
IP address values under the keys to change, so I'm stumped.
If anyone has the time to explain how to set BindToIP if you think it
would be helpful, I'd appreciate it. I'm not real comfy screwing with
the registry. I don't even like opening it up and looking at it, let
alone editing it. :) And the instructions are vague, at least to me.
TIA
