Hi,
Thank you very much! I'm willing to help test if you can provide me a diff of your changes.
Well, that was easy. I checked the code, and it turns out that the functionality is already there. I just tested it on my laptop (running 5.0.13) and it does indeed work.
I did: * echo "10.0.0.1 foo" >> /etc/hosts * ifconfig lo0 alias 10.0.0.1 * add to /etc/my.cnf: [mysqld] bind-address=foo * restart mysqld * mysql -h 10.0.0.1 <-- confirm connection or error from mysqld * mysql -h 127.0.0.1 <-- confirm failure to connect at all I didn't know that this worked. Learn something new every day. Are you having a problem with it? Does it not work for you? Regards, Jeremy -- Jeremy Cole MySQL Geek, Yahoo! Inc.
