I know them, but I need to programmatically get it in a way that works everywhere. > Does your client know the URL? Yes, they know what to use and they type it in or have it bookmarked. > In any case, there must be a lookup somewhere - either in the internal DNS, > an external DNS or in all the users' hosts files. Yes, it's in their local DNS but I don't have a way of generically knowing what to look for. It has different names at different clients. What I think I'll do is put something in the settings file that I can pick up. This will become part of the installation procedure. I don't love it, but I can't think of any other way. > I'm losing concentration here. Past my bedtime. I appreciate the help.
