One thought. The XML config files for each of the services that open ports usually use jboss.bind.address to define the IP address they will bind their ports to. For example, in jboss-web.deployer/server.xml, the address for the connector is defined as: <Connector port="8080" address="${jboss.bind.address}" | maxThreads="250" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" | emptySessionPath="true" protocol="HTTP/1.1" | enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100" | connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" /> You could change it to: <Connector port="8080" address="${my.http.address}" | . . . And then start JBossAS adding -Dmy.http.address=99.99.99.99 (or whatever IP address you want). You can do similar things to the remoting service XML file for messaging. Juts make sure that you catch ALL of the IP address for whatever service you are modifying. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4159742#...
