Hello, I have an idea and would like to share with the Network Manager developers before posting an enhancement request to the bugzilla.
I use my laptop mainly home and at the office. I have a vpn that connects me to the office when I am working at home. Not the VPN IP address and the lAN IP address of the SVN server are obviously different. And the vpn server is neither at home nor at the office. So it fine to go the svn by the VPN IP when I am out of the office but when I am in the office, in order to reach the SVN server, I'll have to travel through the VPN server (thus the internet -> slow) So there is one option, As I move around I'll have to keep different hosts files and change them according to my current location. ie: change the SVN server's IP address from VPN IP to Office LAN IP. I looked into the possibility of using DNS to return *closer* IP of the destination server but AFAIK, this is not possible. Now, then the dynamic hosts file idea came on my mind. Wouldn't it be nice to have some hosts definitions in the connection properties so that they become effective based on the connection just like the IP and DNS setting based on connection profile in Network Manager Regards, Hasan Ceylan -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/An-Idea-tp18954271p18954271.html Sent from the Gnome - NetworkManager mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
