[mirror-admin] Mirror Manager and RFC1918 IPs

[Brian Long (brilong)]

Adrien,
I tried a hostname of lwr-linux.cisco.com which is a CNAME to lwr-dbds-plat-vault1.cisco.com and resolves to IP 10.90.44.179.  It appears Mirror Manager does not like CNAME’s.

I had not tried the real hostname inside Mirror Manager.  I just did this and it allowed me to create the entry without a problem.  I need to discuss this with the mirror admin and see if his Apache config will allow this or if he’s using a virtual host entry which requires the lwr-linux.cisco.com hostname specifically.

/Brian/

When I try adding this host to my Mirror Manager account, it says the host “already exists”.  I think it’s really complaining because I’m using an IP address starting with 10.
