Hi!

We have some customers with no static IP, but dynamic IP, and they have a
DNS service which translates the dynamic IP into a static IP.

Is it possible to connect to a DNS URL, not to a IP, using DBISAM 4?
Some method to convert the DNS url into the corresponding IP?

Thanks!

Yes, just set Session.RemoteHost to the DNS name (instead of
Session.RemoteAddress to the IP address).

Hi, Eryk

Thanks, but will it work for remote connections too (internet)?
I'm refering to those commercial services that provide DNS static IPs to
customers.

Just want to be sure.

Thanks!

As long as the local machine can lookup the host name via a DNS server or
the hosts file and resolve it to an IP address, it will work fine.

We use DynDNS for all our customers who don't want to pay for a static IP address.
DBISAM will work with a IP address or host name.

As long as you set the all firewall settings correctly, then you will have no problem
connecting to a remote database using a dynamic DNS.
