[INUG-Users] Does omni.dat file allows config. of twonetwork interfaces for one Objectserver Instance.

Hi Gerhard,

omni.dat /igen is used to define the main port used by the ObjectServer 
(default 4100).   Overiding the IDUC port (default first available high 
port) is not defined by omni.dat but by the ObjectServer properties.  Both 
require firewall rules.

If on the other hand you are discussing an ObjectServer running on a 
dual-NIC host and therefore requiring the ObjectServer to listen on 4100 
for both IP address then you do need to define that through omni.dat

To deal with dual NIC hosts Dev gave me the following note

You can put 0.0.0.0 in omni.dat. Obviously this file is not portable, but 
is suitable for the server host (this is where have separate listener and 
query entries has an advantage).

I ran my ObjectServer as OTHER on devtest11. I then ran nco_ping DEVTEST11 
on another machine. The ping worked:-


#
# omni.dat file as prototype for interfaces file
#
# Ident: $Id: omni.dat 1.5 1999/07/13 09:34:20 chris Development $
#
[DEVTEST11]
{
        Primary:        devtest11 4174
}

[OTHER]
{
        Primary:        0.0.0.0 4174
}


This configuration on the dual-NIC ObjectServer host should allow remote 
clients to connect via either IP address.
