Anything that uses ircddbgateway

Here is a little procedure to change all IP based REFxxx references to use their DNS name instead. (For Compass Linux location for DPlus_Hosts.txt file) == watch for line wrap in email

cd /usr/share/opendv

sudo cp DPlus_Hosts.txt DPlus_Hosts.txt.old

sudo sed 's/^REF\([0-9]\+\)[[:space:]][^a-zA-Z]*$/REF\1\tref\1.dstargateway.org/' <DPlus_Hosts.txt >DPlus_Hosts.txt.new

diff DPlus_Hosts.txt DPlus_Hosts.txt.new   # Shows the changes
sudo mv DPlus_Hosts.txt.new DPlus_Hosts.txt

Restart ircddbgateway/ircddbgatewayd, e.g. for the daemon

sudo systemctl restart ircddbgatewayd.service

Darren Storer says that the REF001 address should always be referenced by its domain name ref001.dstargateway.org  (which means it may change physical IP address from time to time).

Edit DPlus_Hosts.txt and comment out or replace the old REF001 and replace it.

# DPlus_Hosts.txt

#

# The format of this file is the name of the reflector/gateway followed by its

# IP address.

#

#REF001 192.3.202.54

REF001  REF001.dstargateway.org

On Compass Linux the file is located in /usr/share/opendv

You might want to do this for all of the REFxxx reflectors.
