Hi boneyard

i have already edit /etc/host but still, waf does not read host file. The other option is dns server, but i have an issue with that server that's why i tried local host

have you edited /etc/host by hand or via the commands from the article?

can you explain where you want to use the entry from the host file? i can give it a try and see if it works for me.

    Hi ,

    i have edit it using gui and i checked the host file using cli and my recordwas there.

    i wana use it with APM , to allow apm to find the public ip of domain name.

      where in APM? as a host in the authentication, for clients who connect via SSLVPN, for links on the webtop, ...?

      there is quite some places that can use hostnames, not all will look at /etc/host i expect. so please share your situation in more detail.
