[jboss-user] [JNDI/Naming/Network] - UnknownHostException when doing a lookup in JNDI

I have JBoss installed on my server (OpenSuSE linux 10.2). When I trying to lookup a bean in JNDI I get the following exception: javax.naming.CommunicationException [Root exception is java.rmi.UnknownHostException: Unknown host: aloe; nested exception is:

domain network name is aloe (LAN) but it is visible to external clients (via Internet) as myserver.domain.com. My jndi.properties file has jnp://myserver.domain.com:1099/ url. Server is launched with -b 0.0.0.0 key to enable access from the network. How to tell the server that he should not use aloe hostname for clients outside the local network? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4090944#...
