Ah yes, originally we verified there was an interface available on the OS that was assigned that IP,  but removed the validation code to make it more flexible for OSs which support dynamic loopback IPs (Linux). Windows does not support that concept which is why you saw it fail.

In WF 8.2 I've had success using anything under 127.0.*.* without the need for an alias. This is true for RHEL 6.5 and 7 with oracle jdk 1.7_71, and does not work on my win 7 pc at home, so there might be something to the notion that this behavior is dependent on JDK/OS pairings.

I noticed that in WF 8.2 -b does just work (at least on the RHEL vms I tested). Does this mean that users can expect to see -b back in play (ie w/o need for config changes) for EAP 7?
