So… It’s been a while since I’ve reviewed the output from ParseRelaysDotDat.exe to make sure a Relay IP override was being seen by the client… So maybe this is normal, but it sure doesn’t seem like it is…
I ran the BES Relay Setting : Name Override and told a relay to use it’s IP address.
I confirmed the setting in the registry on that relay reflects the IP address.
When I run ParseRelaysDotDat.exe to see the change reflected on a client, the entry is listed as:
X_X_X_X.domain.com, where X’s are octets of the IP address.
Does the client just “know” to convert this to an IP? Obviously the X_X_X_X.domain.com is never going to resolve.
Any feedback is appreciated.
