Yes. There are situations where a local configuration change or a global DNS change is impossible. My servers (remote) was unable to resolve IORs generated bu ORBit2 for call-back references. The reason was that only the short hostname was used in the IOR. This short hostname did not resolve. One could argue that this is a configuration problem, but not all would be able/allowed to change resolve configuration (/etc/hosts or DNS). That prompted me to make the change. I just missed the potential problems with multi-homed hosts... [Tor] Just out of curiosity, will your test app work if use_local_host would default to LINK_NET_ID_IS_FQDN instead? -- jules _______________________________________________ orbit-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orbit-list
