My Django log is full of these errors ...

ERROR /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/django/core/handlers/exception.py TIME: 2022-09-28 00:13:17,204 MSG: exception.py:response_for_exception:99 Invalid HTTP_HOST header: '111.222.333.444'. You may need to add '111.222.333.444' to ALLOWED_HOSTS.

... where '111.222.333.444. is the correct IP address of the FQDN for the site.

Everything seems to be working but these errors are just consuming disk space.

My reading of the docs https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/settings/#allowed-hosts does not indicate the IP address should be in ALLOWED_HOSTS.

My inclination is it shouldn't be there.

What is the correct way to deal with this?

Many thanks

Mike
