Extra Networks

Note: This documentation is for an old version of Webinator. The latest documentaion is here.

Extra Networks

Syntax: one or more IP address prefixes separated by space or line break

Allow walk to fetch pages from any host within the network specified by the numeric IP address(es).

e.g.: Given a base URL of http://www.mysite.com/ and extra network 192.0.2 Webinator will walk all of www.mysite.com and any URLs referring to any machine having an IP address prefix matching 192.0.2.

Note: This option will NOT hunt down and walk every web server in the specified network. It will simply allow walking them if a reference to them is encountered.

Note: Using this option has the potential to slow the walk since every URL's hostname must be looked up. If there are many different off site hosts, or your DNS is slow, the walk may be slowed substantially.
