I just forced my US Radio to connect to the Germany mysqueezebox.com.
Seems to be working based on very basic testing (normally I uses SBS).
Interestingly the Radio uses "baby.squeezenetwork.com" to lookup the IP
address so that was the entry I had to add to /etc/hosts.
Code:
--------------------
# more /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
89.202.121.131 baby.squeezenetwork.com
--------------------
Poking around in the .lua files you'll also see
"www.squeezenetwork.com" and "mysqueezebox.com" (just for display I
think). I tried the other two names and it didn't work; so I don't know
that they matter at all based on the Radio firmware flow. But it might
make the most sense to alias all three just in case any applet flows
don't use the baby hostname.
I verified my connectivity with "netstat -a -n -t" as well as the
Radios diagnostics screen. I rebooted ("restart -f") between edits of
the hosts file to make sure I had clean results. I didn't experiment
with dynamic changes to see if I could force a change without
restarting.
It's all pointless if all of the servers are having problems. But it
might give geeks something proactive to test if their local server is
having extended problems. Also this will of course subvert any DNS-based
solutions Logitech might be using to direct users to good servers if
they move things around. So any configuration like this might be subject
to breaking unexpectedly and requiring manual intervention (not that DNS
updates typically propagate super fast either).
