Question about client/server communications in TEM

(imported topic written by Tim.Rice)

When the server needs to send a Refresh Now packet to a client, how does it determine which address to use?

  • Does it try to resolve the reported DNS name to get an IP address?
  • Does it use the reported IP address?

Based on a quick test, it looks like it is the reported address.

I have a system that I could not resolve on the TEM server or the relay and then I sent the refresh. I saw in the log on the client that it received the “ForceRefresh command received.” right away.
