Optional network address | Provide an optional network address to facilitate attempts to locate the destination server over a TCP/IP connection. If the field contains no entry, Domino attempts to determine the address of the destination server from the following sources: the server's memory cache, an External Domain Network Address document, or system services that search the local hosts file or DNS to resolve the name.
Enter a fully-qualified host name or IP address -- for example, HR-E.Acme.com or 192.22.256.36. Because IP addresses are subject to change, for ease of management, it's best to use host names in Connection documents. When a host name is used, if the IP address changes, the connecting server obtains the updated IP address from the DNS. |
