Should WeeWX, or any application, be aware of how DNS gets the address, including the use of a cache? I tend to think “no” as that breaks “layering” (leaving the network details out of the application, in this case)Usually you get the operating system’s networking stack, or DNS supporting applicati
I recently regraded my LAN and in doing so forgot to have my WeeWX machine
