I think it should be possible to configure a master even though the IP address/name is not in use.

Hi Lars It's one thing with the name not being in use, it's another to accept something that is not even a valid hostname. Could we at least do *some* verification that the hostname is not using characters that are not allowed within hostnames? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostname#Restrictions_on_valid_host_names Also this is not listed as a bug, it is listed as a feature request.. Cheers, Mark
