[App_rpt-users] allmon.ini - not resolving hostnames?

[Keith Goobie]

Based on the comment that you are running the apache web server and the
reflector system on the same server, I would assume that in the allmon.ini
file, you would be connecting to 127.0.0.1 or localhost.  This is more
efficient.  Now that I know the configuration, I am suspecting that this is
not the system with the DNS issue.

Some further questions:

Is the problem at home or the hospital?
Is the host you are having a problem with hhsstipend.hhsc.ca
RQ supplied me a host IP to connect to the server to look at allmon
(199.21.x.x) which reverse maps to FQDN hostname above, but if you look for
an A record for the host name it maps to a different IP.  Are you aware of
this?  Which IP are you trying to connect with?

Are you running a web server at home?  Not sure where you may have va3uv.com
hosted.  Is allmon running on that web server?

Cheers
Keith
