Subject:     Correct the problem where the only local host name that the IP stack
X-Git-Tag: APACHE_2_0_ALPHA_5~284
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6c265eb9e61a33fde3554a1585afca1f68c11369;p=apache

Correct the problem where the only local host name that the IP stack
    can discover are 'undotted' private names.  If no fully qualified
    domain name can be identified, the default ServerName will be set to
    the machine's IP address string.
