If the server name resolves correctly and quickly there's no real reason to use the IP address. Sometimes in shared hosting situations when the database is on the same internal network but on a different server I'll use an internal IP so the traffic doesn't go through DNS resolution and the public internet just to hit a box that's physically right next to the web server, but for stuff like LDAP I'd say in general it's better to use the server name just in case for some reason the IP changes.
That's my random thought on the issue anyway. ;-) Matt On 4/19/05, John Ivanoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > newbie at this. > if the ldap server is on the local network do you just put the server > name in there or is ip better? > > <cfldap server="mailserver" > > I've used cfNTAuthenticate and it is succesfull.
