[mod_cluster-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (MODCLUSTER-204) Alias max length too low (255?)

[Jean-Frederic Clere (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/MODCLUSTER-204?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12574178#comment-12574178 ] 

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.
