Can a TCP Operation use a DNS name in the IP address field?
Hello,
I am trying to connect to a web socket endpoint that potentially has a number of different IP addresses for load balancing purposes.
I have been asked whether it's possible to use a DNS name to resolve the IP address rather than statically assigning one specific IP address in the TCP Operation.
If it's not possible to resolve on a DNS name directly on the TCP operation, then I wondered whether it was possible to provide multiple IP addresses.
In the documentation, it mentions that I can provide a value like this "!192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3" for multiple IP addresses but that is for when the external system is trying make a connection to the adapter, whereas in my situation, this is not possible, I need to initiate the connection.
I am very new to InterSystems HealthConnect so apologies if this is simple to do and I've just not easily recognised how to do it.
Thanks.

Hi Joshua,
It allows DNS name instead of multiple IP addresses.
Hi Prasanth,
Thanks for your reply, this is great news!
I presume that there is no special characters or format that I'd need to use in this case, I could simply do the following and it would work:

I would test this theory, but unfortunately our IE is heavily locked down and needs firewall rules enabling before I can test.
