| 3 | Definition of hosts in WIMS can be made either through host name or IP |
||
| 4 | number. But we highly recomment that you use IP numbers whenever possible. |

| 8 | (but not <span class="tt">127.0.0</span>) |
||
| 9 | matches 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.255, and <span class="tt">.unice.fr</span> |
||
| 10 | (but not <span class="tt">unice.fr</span>) matches any host in the domain <em>unice.fr</em>. |
