Default Re: Linux Admining

I understand your question but Im afraid that I dont know the answer. I dont know of any way to tell the game which IP to run on. I think that when hosting, the game only concerns itself with port. So if the clients address hits the firewall, and the firewall forwards it to the right machine, things should be transparent to the user. But Im afraid thats just guesswork on my part.

By the way, Dom3 handles both IP or domain name for the server. Thats something I have tested quite abit. So Im able to send people to either 63.199.8.158 OR dom3minions.com for a game. (also 63.199.8.157 host.dom3minions.com which I use for blitz games)
