Hi

Now that Django 1.10.3 forces ALLOWED_HOSTS on with debug I have a
problem.

The problem is that when I developing I use an ip-address range of
192.168.1.*.
The Ip-adress can change depending on the computer I use.

so I required the ability to add wildcard partly in an hostname.

ie
{{{
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['192.168.1.*', '.mydomain.com']
}}}

I have seen this solution that doesn't require Django to be changed
however I don't like it as I feel this could be a secuirty issue

I am happy to produce a patch however I will only do this if it's likely
to get submitted

Comment:

I'm sympathetic to the use case, however, before coding I think it'd be
good to raise the idea on the DevelopersMailingList to ensure no one sees
a problem with it or has an alternative.

Comment:

After posting on the group there are way round the problem.

The one I going with is

{{{
from socket import gethostname, gethostbyname
ALLOWED_HOSTS = [ gethostname(), gethostbyname(gethostname()), ]
}}}
