Could "address" be a host instead of an IP?
Reported by Carl | April 20th, 2008 @ 11:24 PM | in 0.8.2
Instead of specifying an IP as "address", i'd like to be able to specify a host name.
This doesn't make sense when Thin runs as a regular server, but makes a lot of sense when it runs as a Swiftiply client.
On dynamic addressing environments such as EC2, it's much more convenient to use host names instead of IPs, as the latter change all the time.
I guess this is something pretty easy to implement. If the input is not an IP, you can assume it's a host and resolve to IP, and just use that IP from then on as you'd normally do.
Does it make sense?

Actually, now that I think about it, it's probably not a good idea to discard the host name once it's been resolved.
Ideally, you'd resolve it everytime Thin tries to connect to Swiftiply. I believe Thin will try to reconnect to Swiftiply if the connection breaks, is that correct?
If you keep the host name around, it's useful because the IP to which the host name resolves can and will likely change.

Works for me:
I mapped dev.com to localhost in /etc/hosts file then
thin start -a dev.comThen I can access from http://dev.com:3000
Is that what you mean?
