[Quickfix-developers] IP Address Configuration Option

[Jon D. <jd...@wi...>]

Oren,

Would it be diffucult to implement a configuration option to choose the ip
address for the acceptor to listen on instead of INADDR_ANY? We have
multiple nics/ip addresses on our boxes which serve other purposes than
Order Entry.

We simulated a nic failure in QA which didn't produce the expected results
from QF - exception thrown resulting in a shutdown.

I would imagine something like this in the config file:

SocketAcceptAddress=192.168.254.254
   or
SocketAcceptAddress=Any /* Or just leave it out for INADDR_ANY */

I guess it should not be too difficult. Basically you have to extend the 
function socket_createAcceptor() in src/C++/Utility.cpp to have an extra 
parameter host (which could be a special value indicating INADDR_ANY).
Searching for the parameter SocketAcceptPort and SOCKET_ACCEPT_PORT and 
socket_createAcceptor() on the other side should give a good indication 
where the extra parameter would have to be added.

I would suggest SocketAcceptHost to match corresponding 
SocketConnectHost. Otherwise, this is a good suggestion.

Cheers, Jörg
