Django ALLOWED_HOSTS IPs range

Question

Is there a way to set a range of ALLOWED_HOSTS IPs in django?

Something like this:

ALLOWED_HOSTS = [\'172.17.*.*\']

Answer 1

No, this is not currently possible. According to the docs, the following syntax is supported:

['www.example.com']  # Fully qualified domain
['.example.com']  # Subdomain wildcard, matches example.com and www.example.com 
['*']  # Matches anything

If you look at the implementation of the validate_host method, you can see that using '*' by itself is allowed, but using * as a wildcard as part of a string (e.g. '172.17.*.*') is not supported.
