104963 - multiple news server on the same IP but on different ports

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 55540

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, defect)

Description

[Axel Heider]

Hi,

to access news servera through our firewall, they all have to be mapped on one
virtuel IP address (e.g. 192.168.10.27) on a different port (192.168.10.27:300
is news.news1.com, 192.168.10.27:400 is news.news2.com ...). However, I can't
create accounts for more than one server with the same IP when using Mozilla 0.95.


regards, Axel

FYI: can be done manually. 
I added a newssserver 192.168.10.27:300 via the account manager, closed all of
Mozilla and added another news server 192.168.10.27:400 manually in the prefs.js
file. Then I started Mozilla again and it works fine. 

So, it there any reason, why this is not allowed via the account mamanger?
