Yes you can. I am doing it just fine. Use a C# DNS resolver. here ill post mine.

Code: Select all




public class LoginGUI : MonoBehaviour
{

    private SmartFox smartFox;
    private string zone = "SimpleChat"; //Zone to connect to
    private string lobby = "The Lobby"; //Room to connect to

    public string serverName = "192.168.1.10"; //My local server
    public int serverPort = 9933;

    public bool useDnsResolver = true;
    public string serverDomainName = "wikked.failhub.net"; //My domain name

    private string username = "";
    private string password = "";

    private string loginErrorMessage = "";
    private bool isLoggedIn;
    private bool isJoining = false;

    public bool useUDP = true;





    public GUISkin gSkin;

    private Room currentActiveRoom;


    private Rect windowRect;


    void Awake()
    {
        Screen.showCursor = true;
        Screen.lockCursor = false;

        if (useDnsResolver)// Enable a DNS Resolver to obtain servers public IP from a domain name
        {
            IPHostEntry ip = Dns.GetHostEntry(serverDomainName);
            IPAddress[] ipA = ip.AddressList;

            if (ipA.Length > 0)
            {
                serverName = ipA[0].ToString();
            }
        }
    }




So just make sure you put that in your awake so it can try to resolve the domain into an IP before you try to connect to it. I have my login script start like that and has boolean switches inside unity to control if it uses the resolver or just an IP.

All thats really important in that code above is everything under the useDnsResolver if statement. Set the serverDomainName to your domain of choice. I just use a dynamic DNS server to redirect it all to my local routers public IP.

Yeah - you can definitely for now put the code into your game.

I'm adding direct support into the api for next release. It will be a 3.0+ feature only though, because Unity pre-2.6 webplayers dont like any kind of DNS lookup (will crash on exit usually).
