Re: [Condor-users] Condor and DHCP

[Dan Bradley <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Condor 7.6 has a new algorithm for choosing the network interface to 
advertise.  In 7.4, the algorithm relies on DNS records for the 
hostname.  In 7.6, the algorithm no longer depends on DNS.  Instead, it 
looks at the list of network interfaces and chooses one.  If you don't 
like the choice it makes, you can restrict its freedom of choice via 
NETWORK_INTERFACE, which in 7.6 can be an interface name or IP address, 
either of which may contain wildcards.
