{bb} bb and name-based virtual hosts

["Tim Boyer" <tim@denmantire.com>]

I installed Big Brother on saratoga3.denmantire.com.

I started off using virtual named hosts on Apache, so that we could just go
to bb.denmantire.com to get the display.  I.e, httpd.conf says

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName bb.denmantire.com
ServerAlias bb
DocumentRoot /usr/src/bb/bb/www
CustomLog /usr/src/bb/bb/www/logs/access.log combined
ErrorLog /usr/src/bb/bb/www/logs/error.log
</VirtualHost>

which means that there?s no ?real? IP address for bb.denmantire.com.

In bb-hosts, I put

192.168.0.200	bb.denmantire.com # ssh BBNET BBDISPLAY BBPAGER

The problem is that runbb.sh would never start up the net, display, or pager
processes ? because the machine I was starting it from wasn?t really
bb.denmantire.com, it was saratoga3.denmantire.com.

So I added this line to bb-hosts:

192.168.0.200	saratoga3.denmantire.com # ssh BBNET BBDISPLAY BBPAGER

which seems to work just fine ? except that now, BBOUT keeps complaining

Mon Apr 25 11:10:46 2005 bbd CONNECTION TO saratoga3.denmantire.com TIMED
OUT...
Mon Apr 25 11:10:47 2005 bbd CAN'T CONNECT TO bbd SERVER @
saratoga3.denmantire.com
Mon Apr 25 11:10:50 2005 bb-display.sh Mon Apr 25 11:10:50 2005 bb CAN'T
CONNECT TO bbd SERVER @ saratoga3.denmantire.com

Before I make things worse by thrashing around here, is there some simple
way to tell bb that it's _really_ sitting on the right server?

Thanks much,
