Description

Unfortunatly I don't have a fixed IP address, so I use a dyndns-like service to identify my computer. That has some implications when it comes to debugging, because when I use

[SYS][displayErrors] = -1

I would like to be able to write 
[SYS][devIPmask] = example.dyndns.com

The IP address can be obtained by http://php.net/manual/function.gethostbyname.php so I guess it would be rather easy to extend this functionality.

Seems to be doable, however there are two remarks:

  • multiple IP addresses for one domain name, e.g. round robin assignments
  • intermediate caching in case there is no local DNS server to avoid blocking requests during the IP resolution via an external DNS server

We won't do that.

This is IMHO an edge-case issue: One could also use a VPN to conquer this.

- gethostbyname() does not properly support IP v6
- gethostbyname() / DNS can be an issue for disabling the site completely.

Instead, I would go with a solution / workaround in your case in AdditionalConfiguration /additional.php:

if ($_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST'] === 'my.site') {
 $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['devIpMask'] = '*';
}
