Use Hostname for RemoteBindAddress

Alex Peshkov

Tracker entry: CORE-2094

It is now possible to use the hostname of the host where the Firebird server is running to configure RemoteBindAddress, where previously, only an IP address was allowed.

Important

RemoteBindAddress can be used to “pin” user connections to a specific NIC card on the host server. Take care that the hostname specified is not associated concurrently with more than one IP address, anywhere! In particular, check the etc/hosts file on all stations, including the host station itself.
