| Question/Problem Description | How to configure an Orbix domain to use the DNS network alias hostname in IORs for Orbix services |
| Clarifying Information | An Orbix domain can be configured in such a way that it publishes DNS network alias hostnames instead of the physical hostname in the IORs for the Orbix Services. |
| Error Message | |
| Defect/Enhancement Number | |
| Cause | |
| Resolution | When configuring the Orbix domain provide the "-multihome" switch to itconfigure command followed by the DNS network alias of the hostname, e.g itconfigure -multihome <network alias hostname> The IORs generated for the Orbix services configured in the Orbix domain will contain the "network alias hostname" rather than the physical hostname. |
| Workaround | |
| Notes | This only applies to IORs of the Orbix services. For custom Orbix applications, the network alias hostname must be specified through the following configuration variables in the application configuration scope: policies:iiop:client_address_mode_policy:local_hostname policies:iiop:server_address_mode_policy:local_hostname |
