Dear All,

   We've got the domain name, mlp-fes2.mit.edu and mlp-bes2.mit.edu, registered at MIT DNS. You can access your service by using domain name directly without changing it to the IP address.

   When helping MobileClyk team debugging their service, I found that you may bump into the same database access issue for your services deployed on the backend app server. Here is the solution to make DB access simpler - change the hostname of the database to mlp-bes2.mit.edu.

   The hostname, mlp-bes2.mit.edu, would be converted into its private IP address, when your application is deployed on the m-Logisitcs Platform. It would be coverted to it public IP address,18.172.2.23, when been deployed on other app servers on the Internet. In this way, your app on the mlp app server can access the local db server directly without going through the frontend server, which owns the public IP address.

   Hope this helps. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Best regards,

Paul
