listen to multiple IPs(clients)

Folks,

I would like to set my memcache instance to listen to only a list of
given IPs.

I know you can specify an IP/interface by using -l 127.0.0.1. Is it
possible to do something like this: -l ip1,ip2,ip3

I was trying to find its source code for stddup(), the piece dealing
with -l argument. Does anyone know where to find it?

It is copied at: http://github.com/memcached/memcached/blob/master/memcached.c#L4384

but you may want to look at where it's used:

http://github.com/memcached/memcached/blob/master/memcached.c#L3824

Trond

so is it possible to use -l ip1,ip2,..... ?

No, you asked for where in the code it used the -l argument, and memcached does currently not tokenize the argument to -l.

Cheers,

Does that mean memcahed can be set to listen on either Single IP or ALL IPs
, but no to fixed pool of IPs ?

Yes. If you look at one of the last link i added in my first response you would see how the -l argument is handled. It should be fairly simple to modify the code to tokenize the string and bind to each of the ip's you specify.

i think you meant strdup() ..its string duplicate function ( more info :
man strdup )

is this planned to be included in any quick official fix or
improvement? you know this could be a headache if i have to modify/
build the code every time when there is new release.

@Manoher, yes, it's a typo. however, actually i meant to type
getaddrinfo().

@Trond, i just realized that i typed strdup here. i was indeed looking
for getaddrinfo()
