Public IP to Hostname

Just to clarify, do you mean you want a hostname->IP lookup to occur when a packet is NAT'd so that the IP address can change dynamically? Or something else?

Exactly. 
I have an application that could be accessed via [host IP]/application on a browser. And I managed to NAT to that Host's ip.
But now, after an update, access to the web address has changed to [hostname]/application on the browser. 

In short, I can do NAT to IP, but I would like to do NAT to hostname instead.

Hi,

you will need to register it in the XG DNS and tick advertise on the WAN.

Hi,
I am searching for that setting, but cannot find it.
Please help.

Ok, Found it. But it hasn't worked. The following are my settings:

Entry Type: Interface IP
IP Address: Portx - Public IP
TTL: 60
Weight:255
Publish on WAN: Checked
Add reverse DNS Lookup for this host entry: Checked



This has not worked. It is still taking me to the IP address as opposed to the Hostname

Hi, to test that it is actually being advertised, ca;you ping it or tracery to it?

Hi,
How do I rest? DO I ping the public IP? or [Public IP]/application ?

Try a dns lookup from outside of your network.

Hi, the nslookup is returning "unknown"

Hi,
Yeah, it doesn't look like I am getting any returns.
