[Dxspider-support] Strange

[Kin]

Gregor,

You can see the following on Change:

21Mar25======================================================================
1. "Fix" (and I mean that both figuratively and literally) the external IP
   address that is presented comes from one place and not some magical hand
   waving. Having said that, if your NODE (not user) is behind a masquerading
   firewall you MUST (and I really mean this) set $main::localhost_alias_ipv4
   and $main::localhost_alias_ipv6 (if you have IPV6 available).

   This allows a console / dx program RUNNING ON THE NODE to use the correct
   IP address. Also if you "telnet localhost 7300". This setting has nothing
   to do with external users. It also makes sure that the correct IP address
   for the NODE goes out where required (eg in the latest PC92 K records).

   If you never do anything on the node machine itself then this does not
   matter. However, if you do and  your NODE has a dynamic IP address then
   we will have to work out how to make this happen.

20Jan23=======================================================================
1. Add the variable @main::localhost_names to allow other IP addresses to
   be treated in the same way as localhost in item 1 on 19Jan23 below. NOTE
   you must include ALL the normal localhost names + any other interface
   names that you might want to include:

      set/var @main::localhost_names qw(127.0.0.1 ::1 192.168.1.30)

   using the qw() construction is easier than:

      set/var @main::localhost_names ('127.0.0.1', '::1', '192.168.1.30')

   but either will work. You can define as many IP addresses as you like and
   they can be IPV4 or 6.

Last month's dxspider-support list contains more explanation from Dirk on this topic.

Hello!

Did I miss something?

I use the "DX [BY <call>] [ip <ipaddress>] <freq> <call> <remarks>" Method.

The web cluster connects from localhost on the same machine, as it is an api for the web cluster which runs on another host.

But it uses the real IP address of the users... The user "DO5SSB-9" has the permissions to do that locally.

So, what should I do?
