Re: {bb} Client can't find BBPAGER by ip address?

You could add myrradel to the hosts
file on the affected systems.  On Unix systems, update /etc/hosts
with a line like:

10.0.0.110        myrradel.com

On Windoze systems, it's someplace like:

c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Format w/in the file is the same.

Hello,

The BBDISPLAY is updating correctly, but notifications from the clients
are not being sent out.

My bb-hosts looks like:

# THE BIG BROTHER HOSTS FILE
10.0.0.110      myrradel.com      # testip
BBDISPLAY BBPAGER BBNET 
10.0.0.210      myr.internal.com  # testip pop3
216.218.224.14  myrradel.com      # http://www.myrradel.com
dig

I use testip, because the hostnames don't actually resolve to those 
internal ip addresses.

BBOUT gives error messages like:
Thu Mar 24 01:56:10 2005 bb-local.sh Thu Mar 24 01:56:10 2005 bb CAN'T
CONNECT TO bbd SERVER @ myrradel.com
Thu Mar 24 01:58:07 2005 bb-local.sh Thu Mar 24 01:58:07 2005 bb 
CONNECTION TO myrradel.com TIMED OUT...

I'm assuming the problem is that testip is only for BBNET (which is why
the webpages on BBDISPLAY are updated with client information), but 
BBPAGER keeps trying to connect by the hostname myrradel.com, which is
why my client email notifications aren't getting out.

How do I trick the client machines to connect to BBPAGER by its ip address
10.0.0.110 instead of by the hostname myrradel.com?

(BTW, as suspected, the client running ON the BBDISPLAY server does get
its notifications sent, because on that server myrradel.com does resolve
to itself.)

Thank you!
-Michael
