Description
The module is great so far! But it would be nice if I in addition also were able to use a hostname instead of an IP adress. All PCs of our university have a hostname like for example ab3424.universityxyz.com. I could set the rules a lot easier if there was the possibility to add a mask like *.universityxyz.com for the hostname :)

That's a wonderful idea. Perhaps instead of using the wildcard character, a regular expression syntax would be more powerful. So if you wanted only 9 computers of a certain name, then we could use labcomputer[1-9].universityxyz.com. This would give more fine grained control over which computers can have certain access privileges. Maybe giving the choice of using the wild card or regular expression syntax would be more appropriate.

that would be the perfect solution =)
Another additional proposal: Move ipAuthenticator from the 'Site Configuration' to the 'User Management' menu. Imho it has more to do with setting user access rules than with the general site configuration.

I agree. I have released a 5.x version of the module with those changes being reelected along with a number of other fixes. I am trying to get a dev snapshot of a 6.x branch with those changes implemented also.
