[Server-devel] Server-devel Digest, Vol 98, Issue 2

[Tony Anderson]

Hi, All

In an ideal world, the server name would be schoolserver and there would 
be no domain name (totally unnecessary in a lan). If a school needs more 
than
one schoolserver, they are all still named schoolserver. Which one an xo 
connects with is determined by which ssid it connects with (e.g. 
schoolnet1 for first grade,
schoolnet6 for sixth grade).

> xsce distinguishes between hostname (schoolserver) and domain name (defaults to .lan).  You can change the second of these no problem in the console.  You can override the first in local_vars, but if you do XOs won't automatically find the schoolserver.  (I have a machine that I named xsce.lan, which works fine.) The expectation is that if you need multiple schoolservers or need to add to an existing network that you will do it by changing the domain name, so only that is exposed in the console.
