I have what I believe is a simple question. We are moving our
Intranet to a datacenter located in Dallas. At that location they are
very conscious of adding new servers, moving machines around, changing
IP addresses, etc. They seem to be able to want to mix and match
machines at will. While I agree that hardcoding server names or IP
addresses in code is very bad practice it seems to me that complete
flexibility isn't possible either. For example, according to the
documentation the client.ini file needs to have the IP addresses of the
servers serving Witango specified. For example a snippet of our
client.ini file looks like:
WITANGO_SERVER=Witango1,10.200.10.51,18150:Witango1a,10.200.10.51,18151
Is it possible to replace the IP addresses with something else that
will resolve to an IP address of must the IP address be specified? Yes,
we can do a global search and replace if we ever need to move servers
but the powers that be want this as flexible as possible. Thanks for the
feedback and thoughts.
