How do I bind QTSS or DSS to a single IP address if my machine is multihomed?
The bind_ip_addr property in the streamingserver.xml file tells the server what IP address it should accept. For example, a value of zero in
<PREF NAME="bind_ip_addr">0<PREF>
means that all IP addresses are enabled for the server.
To specify a single IP address:
1Log in to the server as an administrator.
2Open the streamingserver.xml file and look for the bind_ip_addr property. The file is in the following locations:
QTSS 4:
/Library/QuickTimeStreaming/Config/streamingserver.xml
DSS 4 (Windows):
\Program Files\Darwin Streaming Server\streamingserver.xml
DSS 4 (other supported platforms):
/etc/streaming/streamingserver.xml
3Replace the zero with the IP address to which you wish to bind (for example, 192.168.1.1):
<PREF NAME="bind_ip_addr">192.168.1.1<PREF>
4Save the file as a plain text file (not .rtf or other format).
5For the change to take effect, kill the QTSS or DSS processes that are running and then restart the server.
