[Opensim-users] Configuring a multi-hosted grid

[David Saunders]

Hey,

    A solution that helped for me,  Make sure your public IPs have  names(
ie. example.com) Its is important that they do for the next steps.  What I
have done in the past since most of my routers I have used do note provide
a local loopback to local next work.   You can use some of the dynamic name
sites for this if you cat add a machine name to a domain.


1> Assign the public IP(s) address to seperate names. This also work with a
single IP address its important that the each simulator machine have its
own name, even if it shares the same public IP.
2> Now the the tricker part. on either your local dns server( some routers
allow you to do this) or on local host files, assign the local host IPs to
the names given to them in step 1.
3> Update the simulator configs with the host names.

You may need to restart machine to get them to work, but if done correctly,
the local computers will access the your public names with local IPs.

>>>>>>> note backup any files or setting your are changing so you can
change them back incase of problem <<<<<<

This should only affect the way your local computer access each other and
should have no other effect on your network operation.

My testbed is:
I have used this on a DSL modem with an dynamic IP dose not support
loopback :|, 1 linux robust/sim host, 1 win7 machine with simulator and
multiple virtual linux on the win7 machine. I use dyndns to update the host
names.
