Does HarvestMan work inside an Intranet?
Yes. HarvestMan can crawl servers inside intranets or LANs as long as HarvestMan is able to resolve the name of the intranet server. This typically requires that there is a DNS server somewhere in the intranet which performs the resolving for clients. If you dont have such a DNS server, you might need to provide this information locally on the machine, by editing the local hosts file in your machine. HarvestMan makes no difference between Internet and Intranet crawling. This was not so in earlier versions. However from the 1.4 version, all servers are treated uniformly irrespective of whether they are part of the local intranet or the Internet.
