perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Warren Matthews <>]

Hi

I have several perfsonar servers (all installed using netinstall 3.2.2) at 
locations where I do not control the DNS. In some of those locations, the 
administrators have not created a reverse DNS entry. So when I visit, for 
example, the one-way latency graphs, I just see the site by IP address. I 
don't want to remember each site by IP address, so I added the name and 
addresses in each servers /etc/hosts file. However, the tools don't adopt the 
hard coded names and still lists the sites by IP address. Am I missing 
something, or are the tools designed only to use DNS?

Thanks.
