Just wanted to use "all host+" even for normal fqdns (not multiple ips fqdns) We (ALICE) have a configuration template that is customized by the script for starting/management of service. Given that there are sites that use multiple redirectors (with aliases) i thought that the template could have "all host+" for everyone, and for those that have 1 single redirector, just the single ip would be taken ... while this seems to work, there are those unsettling messages mentioned in the first mail, so i will take another route and detect in the starting script if the redirector have multiple ips and then use "all host+" Thank you!
