[rabbitmq-discuss] rabbitmq nodename/hostname -s problem

[Steve Conover]

Hi,

We're using 1.6.0 and trying to set up a cluster.  We've found that
rabbitmq refuses to parse the cluster config file when there's a dash
in the hostname - that is, the suffix of the node name, e.g.
[rabbit at foo-bar].  We'd rather not go around changing our
hostnames...is it possible to escape or quote this to get around the
problem (we've tried many possibilities and haven't succeeded getting
the name to parse correctly)?

Also, could we somehow specify an ip address instead?

Regards,
Steve
