I noticed when testing my redundant gateway configuration that the url on my perspective client when switching to the backup node changes to the backup gateways IP address instead of the hostname. Then when the master comes back on line the url changes to the masters gateway url instead of its hostname. When the client is first opened and browsed to we use the host name. Is there a way to change the fail overs to use hostname instead of the ipaddress?
You need to configure the public address in your gateway settings to be the host name, and to not use "automatic".

Is this the correct setting? I changed it to reflect the full url with the hostname and it still switched to ip address.
That setting may take a gateway restart to take effect. (Be sure you do the same on the backup node, and that the backup node points to the master via hostname, too.)
OK, I got it to work. I had to change the ports to 8088 and 8043, then instead of both the master and back up pointed to the hostname of the master I had to switch the back up to point at itself. Tested and everything works perfect😀
Thank you for your help!
