Comment 3 for bug 1491290

Hi Carlo

For most users IP addresses frequently change, so adding the ability to resolve domain names allows these users to use a dynamic DNS service (such as No-IP) and never have to remember or look up their IP address. It would certainly come as a welcome addition to me, hence why I submitted the patch. :)

Subject: [Bug 1491290] Re: Add support for domain names in multiplayer

Thank you for the patch and I hope it's the first of a long series by
you :) . Excuse my deep ignorance, but what is the advantage for OR of
reaching domain names?

Title:
  Add support for domain names in multiplayer

Status in Open Rails:
  New

Bug description:
  Currently in multiplayer mode domain names (such as
  openrails.example.com) aren't supported, only IP addresses. It seems
  like Open Rails isn't querying any DNS servers at all; a call to
  Dns.GetHostAddresses (http://bit.ly/1fUALuB) should fix this.
