Re: [Opensim-users] Using FCDN in the Regions.ini...

BTW, you keep saying FCDN. The correct term is FQDN, for Fully Qualified Domain 
Name.

Thanks STE, 

But that didn't work. I used already FCDN in all configuration files.
Only in Regions.ini I get an error message when I use FCDN. It only
allow me to put in IP addresses...

I have used an FQDN everywhere in Sanctuary's configuration, for many years 
now. Basically, the rule of thumb has been that you either have to use IP 
addresses everywhere, or use an FQDN everywhere, because OpenSim does string 
comparisons in places where you might expect an IP address to get resolved 
first, except that it doesn't. In other words, in a comparison, it will, for 
example, not consider 65.78.40.167 to be the same as sanctuary.homelinux.org, 
even though they are equivalent. 

I do not, however, do split DNS, so I can't speak to that. I do run my grid 
behind a firewall, with no issues, though.

[Opensim-users] Using FCDN in the Regions.ini...

2016-02-23 Thread silverj 
I hope this problem can be solved. I am owner of SIMVALLEY
(http://www.simvalley.nl [1]) and are running my grid behind a FW. Since
I started SIMVALLEY more the 6 years ago I had always put the IP address
in as ExternalHostName. I have seen more questions in the past about
this but dont remember to see a solution. 

I am running split DNS so it is for security reason more handy to use
FCDN in the Regions.ini then IP addresses. Is it possible to implement
in the next version the Full Qualified Domain Name instead of the IP
address? 

It will help a lot and makes running a grid behind a FireWall and Split
DNS much more easier and confirm the way other services are used on the
Internet. 

With regards, 

John
