MonitorServer setting

Hi Hugo,

The documentation say:
MonitorServer = <ip-address>
Specify the IP address of the Hiawatha Monitor server. This enables logging of statistical information. Use a X-Hiawatha-Monitor CGI header to log an event. Use the value 'failed_login' to log a failed login or 'exploit_attempt' to log an exploit attempt.
Example: MonitorServer = 192.168.1.2

My question is:
Instead of having an ip-address, can I use a domain?
I have webserver that I want to monitor from another LAN.. So Will the following work?
MonitorServer = hiawatha.mydomain.co.uk 

I not, can I specify the port like:
MonitorServer = 62.30.xxx.xx:4433

No, for the MonitorServer option you only specify an IP address. A port is not required, because it's the Monitor server that connects to the webserver, not the other way around.
