[mod_cluster-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Reopened: (MODCLUSTER-173) Alias max length too low

https://issues.jboss.org/browse/MODCLUSTER-173?page=com.atlassian.jira.pl...
]
Radoslav Husar reopened MODCLUSTER-173:
---------------------------------------
I don't believe in this fix as it doesn't adhere to DNS specs RFC-1123 and I see
no performance reason not to follow it.
An Alias is a valid hostname - a valid DNS record might be an Alias. The specification
reads:
The DNS defines domain name syntax very generally -- a
string of labels each containing up to 63 8-bit octets,
separated by dots, and with a maximum total of 255
octets. (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1123.txt)
Furthermore, the Alias size is truncated to 100 characters without letting the user know.
This should rather result in configuration exception.
Alias max length too low
------------------------
Key: MODCLUSTER-173
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/MODCLUSTER-173
Project: mod_cluster
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.0.3.GA
Environment: Windows server 2008
Reporter: Gregory Lardiere
Assignee: Jean-Frederic Clere
Fix For: 1.0.5, 1.1.1.Final
Attachments: alias.patch, makefile.patch, patch.txt
We have virtual-hosts in server.xml with aliases of more than 40 characters. No problem
on the jboss side, but on apache side, mod_cluster fails with the following message :
"MEM: Can't read host alias".
Changing HOSTALIASZ from 40 to 64 (mod_clustersize.h) resolves the problem (see patch
#1).
NB: I had to fix a few "NMAKEmakefile", otherwise it won't compile with
Visual Studio 2010 (see patch #2)
