On a Windows 2000 machine I always get the following error when I try to
start stunnel (4.11): Error resolving 'x.y.z.23': Neither nodename nor servname known (EAI_NONAME)
The client should connect to a server using SSL. x.y.z.23 is a static IP
address of the client. The client has multiple IP addresses and stunnel should use this one to connect to the server.
Contents of stunnel.conf: client=yes [service] local=x.y.z.23 accept=12345 connect=server:12345
Why does stunnel try to "resolve" this IP? Is the configuration correct?
Thanks for your help!

Why does stunnel try to "resolve" this IP?
To resolve means "to translate text (dotted-decimal or domain) hostname to IP address" in this context.
Is the configuration correct?
Maybe. It depends on what your x, y and z are.
