Great feature, a few supplements
You should just be able to add the search domain in Network System Preferences. scutil --dns should show you the resolver/search configuration; you could add it via scutil as well if you wanted to (the syntax is a bit annoying).
Note that you can actually have one machine with multiple iCloud accounts for Back to My Mac, so you may see multiple resolvers. For example, with two iCloud accounts configured, I see: DNS configuration resolver #1 search domain[0] : nyc.sabi.net nameserver[0] : 8.8.4.4 nameserver[1] : 8.8.8.8 resolver #2 domain : xxx.members.btmm.icloud.com options : pdns timeout : 5 order : 150000 resolver #3 domain : yyy.members.btmm.icloud.com options : pdns timeout : 5 order : 150200 [...] This all worked with .Mac/MobileMe, too, except the domains were shorter and easier to remember («host».«username».members.mac.com); since iCloud uses arbitrary email addresses instead, I guess this is the best they could do. If your SSH sessions are getting interrupted, check out mosh. I still use it with tmux for the multiple windows, but it's great on a flaky network or even just with a machine you're constantly putting to sleep. Unfortunately I think the license precludes an iOS port. Edited on Aug 10, '12 09:54:52AM by sabi

As someone who has contributed to mosh, I can tell you that the license does not preclude an iOS port. However, it does have an open-source license, which means it cannot be incorporated into commercial SSH apps in the App Store. Anyone is free to take mosh and release an open-source app that uses it in the App Store.

There is specifically a waiver (https://github.com/keithw/mosh/blob/master/COPYING.iOS) that releases iOS developers from App Store related conflicts with GPLv3... but that not a free pass for commercial software to, for example, avoid the requirement to release source code. I would be curious if this would mean that an existing iOS SSH client would be expected to release source to their entire app or just any changes they make to mosh... |
