Explanation:
SPR# PMIA6A9MMW - When a notes client connects to a Domino server part of
the
protocol exchange includes the notes client telling the server what it thinks
the server's name is.
If the names do not match, the connection is terminated. This mechanism is
part
of the code which supports partitioned servers running on the same IP address.
However, because of this algorithm, we cannot use network sprayers in front of
Domino servers. When a Notes client uses a Network Sprayer address as a Domino
server address, the network sprayer may make the final connection to any of the
Domino servers behind it. If the name supplied by the client is not the Domino
server name of the selected server, the connection will be broken. This fix
provides a mechanism to skip the server name checking to allow this
configuration to work.
NOTE: This mechanism is suitable ONLY if the database
being accessed is available on all the Domino servers being sprayed to! This is
only true for very constrained configurations. For example - Sametime Servers
that want to use SSO, or clusters in which all accessed databases have replicas
on all servers! There are many configurations in which this feature will not
work.
To enable this feature, on each of the Domino servers behind the network
sprayer add NETWORK_SPRAYER_ADDRESS=sprayer to notes.ini. Where "sprayer" is *
* to match any name, or the DNS or HOST file name of the sprayer itself, or a
comma separated list of names.
Applies to:
Servers
Default Value:
None
UI equivalent:
None, although you can specify this setting in the NOTES.INI Settings tab of
the Configuration Settings document in the Domino Directory.
Syntax:
Network_Sprayer_Address=SprayerName [,SprayerName2,..]
