Does pointing *.[int].mydomain.com to 192.168.1.[int] constitute a security threat
- by Dave
For testing purposes, I've found it's really useful to point whatever.machineIP.mydomain.com to 192.168.1.machineIP : that way we can test each other's code without fidgetting with hosts files.
I'm aware that this identifies our local IP addresses to the outside world, but if someone could access the network, it'd be trivial to sniff which of the local IP addresses respond to port 80 anyway.
Is there anything I'm not seeing?
