Power Virtual Hosts and Alteon DNS conflicts
Hi,

This is more of a verification rather than a question of technical nature.

This is based on solaris 10 machine

Could we use Virtual hosts (within our hosts file):
123.1.1.10 virtual_host_name
123.1.1.10 host_A
(note: 123.1.1.10 - host_A is also in our DNS server entry)

And also have alteon switch pointing to (222.1.1.2) to the same name 'virtual_host_name'? (matched as such in the DNS server entry)

That is 2 different IP's using the same hostname.


What is also we added a second server (with hosts file):
123.1.1.20 virtual_host_name
123.1.1.20 host_B
(note: 123.1.1.20 - host_B is also in our DNS server entry)

That would make it 3 different IP's using the same hostname.

Just for info. in the nsswitch.conf file, we have put DNS in front of the files:
hosts: files dns

Any help would be much appreciated. If this is not clear and you have questions, please post them, thank you.

rplay.hosts

RPLAY.HOSTS(5)							File Formats Manual						    RPLAY.HOSTS(5)

NAME

       rplay.hosts - rplay host authentication database

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/local/etc/rplay.hosts

DESCRIPTION

       The  rplay.hosts  file contains a list of hosts and access permissions which rplayd uses to validate incoming connections.  Each line is of
       the form:

	      hostname[:permission]

       where

       hostname       is the name of a remote host or a host's IP address.  Wildcards can be used within IP addresses  to  match  multiple  hosts.
		      The wildcard character is "*".

       permission     is an optional field containing any combination of the following characters:

		      r  the host can read sounds.

		      w  the host can write sounds.

		      x  the host can play, stop, pause, and continue sounds.  This is normally called execute permission.

		      m  the host can monitor the audio stream written by rplayd to the audio device.

       "rx" permissions are used when no permissions are specified.

EXAMPLE

       #
       # All hosts have read access:
       #
       *:r

       #
       # Trusted hosts:
       #
       nice-guy.sdsu.edu:rwx
       friend.sdsu.edu:rwx
       amigo.sdsu.edu:rwx
       130.191.224.224:rwx

       #
       # Hosts which can read and execute:
       #
       foo.bar.com:rx
       130.190.*:rx
       146.244.234.*:rx
       using.default.perms.edu

       #
       # Hosts which can monitor the audio stream
       #
       nsa.sdsu.edu:m

FILES

       /usr/local/etc/rplay.hosts

SEE ALSO

       rplayd(1)

BUGS

       The permissions for an "*" entry apply to all matching hosts.  The order of this file does not matter.  Specific hosts can have access dis-
       abled with entries like:

       bad.guy.edu:

       however, any matching "*" entries will still apply.
