How to prevent DirectAdmin from binding to domain?

[lucek]

Hello,

My server is running on IP 1.2.3.4 and DirectAdmin is bind to this ip. One of my websites is also bind to IP 1.2.3.4. I access DirectAdmin through address: http://1.2.3.4:2222/, but I can also access it through http:///mydomain.com:2222/ which I don't like. How can I force DirectAdmin to reject connections coming through http://mydomain.com:2222?

Thanks,
Lucek

Hello,

I'm quite sure, that there is no way to do it by default.... though you might want to try your luck with a firewall and try to restrict it on that level. But why? Would not it better to buy an extra IP specially for Directadmin and add

bind_address=1.2.3.5

for this into /usr/local/directadmin/directadmin/directadmin.conf

Thank You for quick reply.

Yes, it would be easier to buy additional IP but unfortunately I'm not allowed to do that. As You suggested I currently use iptables to block incoming traffic from all IP's except mine.
