Platform-specific Issues

Must use fully qualified domain names when setting denyRemoteHost and allowRemoteHost properties on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 (ID 6377272)

On Windows systems, you must use fully qualified domain names (for example, myhost.mydomain.com) instead of the short name (for example, just myhost) for Windows hosts in setting IP-based request filtering properties, even though Windows commands such as hostname and ipconfig /all and Java the API InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName() return short host names.

For example, the following command denies access by Windows host foobar:

asadmin --user adminuser --password adminpasswd 
--echo server.http-service.virtual-server.server.property.denyRemoteHost=foobar.sun.com

Note that the host name is fully-qualified with the DNS domain name, foobar.sun.com.
