[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/MODCLUSTER-204?page=com.atlassian.jira.pl... ] Jean-Frederic Clere commented on MODCLUSTER-204: ------------------------------------------------ For a comment from Rado in 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. +++ -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
