This is exactly the implementation that I independently figured out last week (independently because I hadn't been keeping up on JDEV email); we've got our server name set to example.com and an "alias to" to put in the real.name.example.com which is the full A name of the server. Gabber is set to connect to login to real.name.example.com and JIDs now can be specified as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Using an SRV record to locate the real name would be better, but this really isn't too bad, and we haven't noticed any confusion in the client. Incidentally, we've also got an "alias to" to "localhost" so people can do SSH port forwarding to the jabber server; they forward port 5223 on the server to localhost port 5223 and specify localhost as their server. - Dave Dykstra _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
