I have a really weird/stupid question... in the event log what does MagicRudyAPN.rim mean?

[Lex Luthor]

Anyone else have this? I never saw this on my 8300 and started seeing it on the 8320 that's why I am wondering what it is.

I would venture to guess that 99.999% (or more) of the 8320 users have NEVER looked at the Event Logs.

Guess you're right!

Curious finding. Hmm did you search for it on RIMS public site??

Maybe I can sched some light on this one. While tinkering with my BB (8820), trying to get it to work on the wireless here, I noticed that it couldn't look up the BES's hostname (the one that is shown in Wifi Diagnostics). Tracing it on the network, I noticed that it is in fact not looking up the hostname but instead is looking up:

hostname.MagicRudyAPN.rim

Why it appends that 'MagicRudyAPN.rim' to the hostname is a mystery to me. All that does is break name resolution as the name can't resolve like that on our network (I had to specifically create the MagicRudyAPN.rim zone in DNS and define hostname.MagicRudyAPN.rim in there to get the BB to recognize the BES server when connected wirelessly).
