What is the correct format of an RSN.ini file for Revit and for each function (Admin, Host, Accelerator) of the Revit Server?

In all scenarios, the RSN.ini file should meet the same criteria as defined in the documentation:

The filename extension should be INI (not TXT).
List available Revit Server host instances, one in each line.
IP or server names can be used to include a Host Revit Server instance in the RSN.ini file.
The names of the servers are limited to 63 characters and cannot begin with an underscore ("_").

Example of RSN.ini on the Revit 2024 (client):
All available hosts are listed as IP addresses.

Example of RSN.ini file on the Revit Server 2023 (Admin):
RSN file configuration Revit Server.png

Note: In both Revit and Revit Server Accelerator RSN.ini file should still point to the Host instance, not to the Accelerator instance.
