coturn - issue #6

(patch provided) Add support for hostnames in listening-ip and relay-ip fields

Posted on Sep 8, 2014 by Happy Cat

Hi,

The attached patch allows the listening-ip and relay-ip configuration fields to contain a hostname, which is then resolved with getaddrinfo(). Tested under Linux and OSX.

Rationale:

In some environments (for example, Google Cloud Servers) the host gets a dynamic private IPv4 upon restart which may change at any time. Fortunately an alias for the private IP is automatically added into /etc/hosts. For some reasons one may need to make Coturn to just listen into the private address and avoid IP autodiscovery. The patch makes this scenario easier to live with.
