Hello,
We are facing an issue using NPM. We need to monitor multiple DNS adresses to make sure they are availlable. In order to do that, we are defining my DNS addresses as "External nodes". We then use a SAM application to check HTTP access on the DNS address.
When we are adding a node, NPM is doing a DNS resolve of the name to see if it is accessible. It also stores the IP address of my node. The problem is that I have multiples DNS names that all point to the same IP address. NPM then doesn't allow me to monitor those DNS addresses as it can't add two nodes with the same IP address.
The fact is that we don't need NPM to poll on IP addresses. We are only interested in polling the DNS addresses using HTTP (or HTTPS) application.
We have already opened a SR#429951 for this issue and this is the reply that I received from Development :
"there is not OFFICIAL way, cause we don't support same addresses on engine."
I hope we could see these problem solved in a future release...
Regards,
Ps: Actually, we have an other product which realize this feature and It works very well…
