The loopback address should be 127.0.0.1 on your machine,
You can typically access this as localhost while disconnected.
When connected, your incoming request are mapped by the virtual host
stuff to the loopback host and port.
Since your virtual host will be the dynamic DNS name, this will work
without reconfiguring as you move from place to place and IP address
to IP address.

Hi Paul,
1. Why not get a dynamic domain address from, for example, http://
www.dyndns.com/ ?
2. See the functions add-virtual-host-nick-name or add-virtual-host.
3. If you run your server on the loopback address, then you server
will work without reconfiguration no matter where your laptop
might be!
4. Sign up to beta test the new and vastly improved cl-http beta.
Regards, John

i need to serve to remote IP addresses from my cl-http-based
application, running behind comcast's cable modem into my office
network running NAT
i've got port mapping working so that i can give out an IP
address, obtained from comcast's cable modem, and reach my cl-
http server from a remote machine. i know this because i get a cl-
http error page from my server, which says:
Bad Request: Unknown Virtual Host
The virtual host xx.yy.zz.qq [my cable modem's IP address] on
port 8000 is unknown.
-------
CL-HTTP/70.190 (Macintosh Common Lisp; 3.9.7)
--------------------------------------------------------------------

so it seems that my cl-http code isn't understanding the request
that's coming in well enough to serve from my application code,
but at least cl-http is connecting via port mapping correctly. my
cl-http is running fine because i get served correctly from my
app when i browse to the IP address of the serving machine inside
my network
i figure there are 1 of 2 issues/ways to get this working:
- the way i'm using cl-http is wrong/bad form, but i'm not sure how
- i need to add a mapping from the cable modem IP address to the
IP of my server machine somehow via cl-http code. is this the
proper use of http:add-virtual-host? do i have to re-write every
export-url form? my experiments with this have failed
i'm using the vanilla start-server.lisp code [MCL on Mac OS X]
all help welcome, thx in advance
