Title: Dr from File - Resolved name?
Post by: James on 2018-08-14, 10:23:58
When using a text file to specify the Dr slaves ip addresses - is there a way to have it read the resolved name of the dr machine as well?

I'd prefer to use the from file option because search lan can be a bit hit and miss sometimes, no picking up all of the active slaves. But when when the file just has the Ip addresses in it you lose the convienience of having the resolved name column filed in for each ip address

You can use resolved host names in your file - we always use it like this. It's the only way I know to have a properly ordered list.


Good Luck

whats in your actual text file?

I'm guessing youve got a hostname on each line rather than just the ip address? (as your resolved name column is still not filed in)

This is what I get from Search Lan vs From File (the file has just the ip addresses in - Id like to be able to put the resolved name in there in some way as well - is that possible?)

Sorted now.

If you just put a name at the end of each ip address in the text file then it still picks up the slaves just fine

Jup, just one "column" with resolved names:

Code: [Select]
knecht-01.rakete.lan
knecht-02.rakete.lan
knecht-03.rakete.lan
knecht-04.rakete.lan
.
.
.


I'm not aware of any option to have both columns filled as one would expect.


Good Luck
