Hi,
the problem is that I want my application to run on clients
computers and I can not want them to configure something.
Do the libraries that you're calling accept ports in addition to host
names? If so, perhaps you could always give "localhost" to the
libraries plus a port that your app is listening on. When the library
connects to the specified port, your code would open a connection to
the desired host and pass data between the two connections, kind of
like a NAT server. You'd probably need one listening port per mapped
service.

Hi All,
I need to dynamically define a dns records, which will be valid
for
my application only.
Writing into /etc/hosts solves this problem only partially. It is
valid for all applications and it requires root permissions to write
something into /etc/hosts.
Is there please any possible solution? My application uses some
third-party libraries, so I can not simply change the code
responsible for domains resolving.
Thanks
Josef
You can easily configure BIND to allow dynamic updates, but I'm
not sure how
you would go about limiting the records' resolvability to one
specific
application.
