Currently remote replication only works if you specify
hosts as fully qualified domain names.
We ought to support partially qualified domain names
or even numerical IP addresses.

It's not exactly like that.

FQDNs do not work either by themselves. What works is, in "zumastor define target"
and "zumastor define source" you must use the same name `uname -n` returns. Anything
else, replication fails.

Comment 2 by pgquiles, Feb 08, 2008

I didn't say it in my former comment because it's obvious, but as FQDNs do not work,
what `uname -n` returns in each peer (original and replica) must resolve to a valid
IP or replication won't work.

It would be nice to include this comment and the previous one in the howto until this
issue is fixed.

The attached patch to the howto:
- the tricks in comment 1 about FQDN
- warnings about broken resizing ( issue 60 )

Sorry for not splitting the patch
