Peer-to-Peer Hosts

Select the Peer-to-Peer Hosts tab in the Master Settings window to adjust the following settings:

u Construct station specifiers: Specify the way that station specifiers (connect strings) are constructed for polled Hosts by selecting one of the following options:

w From DNS name, or by network and station name specifies Host computers either by computer name or by DNS name. With this option, a reverse DNS lookup is attempted using the network address. A reverse DNS lookup can take a long time depending on the network configuration, and may cause performance problems if there is a large number of Host computers. If the reverse DNS lookup succeeds, the station specifier is the DNS name. Otherwise, the network address and station name are used.

w From network and station name only specifies Host computers by network address and station name using the address:name syntax.

w From network connection address only specifies Host computers network address.

u Check Poll automatically on startup to poll for Host computers when you start PROXY Pro Master. With this option, PROXY Pro Master searches for all computers listed next to Range on the Peer-to-Peer Hosts tab. This is useful if the polling range is small. If the polling range is large, automatic polling may slow PROXY Pro Master’s startup significantly.
