Hi,
Is there a chance to define a hostname as remote address of an EoIP-Tunnel?
I am thinking about an EoIP-Tunnel between two sites, on of them has an dynamic (dial-in) ip-address which could be resolved via dyndns.
But every time i try to set the hostname as remote address, an error like “ip address expected” appears…
Any suggestions? Or do I have to post this in the beta-section?

schorsch,
Right now only IP address can be configured to the EoIP tunnel remote address option.
You could work around this using a script. Like reconfiguring the remote address of the EoIP tunnel when a netwatch detects the tunnel failed…
Best regards,

or just use a script to directly set the IP based on a resolve command which runs periodically.
eg: set [your IP command here]=[:resolve http://www.yourhost.com]
