Re: Binding by Hostname

Hi,

A few more troubleshooting ideas:

Also, if you do dig www.wildfalcon.com/wildfalcon.com does it resolve to the IPs on the haproxy box?
If you telnet to www.wildfalcon.com 80 on the haproxy box does it work? If so then if you do tcpdump for port 53 and watch that during the haproxy start up are any queries for www.wildfalcon.com getting resolved correctly? Lastly, if you strace haproxy as it starts do you see resolver lib calls that are being answered correctly? I test both because dig seems to search slightly differently from the c resolver libs on RedHat Linux.

I had a case with boa where it refused to start up because the hostname was not resolvable even though I specified an IP address for it to bind to, so just a thought.
