Well, it actually isn't a web server, it is a voice comms server (teamspeak 2) and ssh/sftp.
It is getting an address from the DHCP server on my Bering box. The names are going to come from the DNS server running on the Bering box (tinydns, getting its data from the dhcp server by way of dhcp_2_dns). My goal is to make sure the ports get forwarded the right way no matter what IP address the DHCP server hands out. I just want to make sure this isn't dangerous (or unadvisable for some other reason) -Mark Ivey- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Luis.F.Correia" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, September 13, 2002 1:24 AM Subject: RE: [leaf-user] Using hostnames instead of ip addresses in shorewall config? > Do you hav a web server that is getting IP from DHCP? > > Nice... > > > Well, if you add entries to /etc/hosts, you can use names > > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark Ivey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, September 13, 2002 8:30 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [leaf-user] Using hostnames instead of ip addresses in shorewall > config? > > > Is it safe to use hostnames instead of IP addresses in the shorewall > configuration files?
