Re: [webmin-devel] /etc/hosts, ifconfig

[Hugo C. <hug...@ya...>]

Having some 'free' time before christmas, I looked
again into the problem explained below.  I tracked it
down to be an apache config problem, not a webmin
problem (I use apache to proxy webmin requests).  The
config option of apache causing translation of
'localhost' to the dns host name in the URL is
UseCanonicalName (in httpd.conf).  Switching this
option off removes the translation of URLs such that
the ip address of the localhost can be edited via
webmin using an URL with 'http://localhost/...'.  The
URL will not be translated to a DNS entry, and the
browser will not send any requests to an unassigned
IP.
