Is 172.25.1.52 associated with bondl? If not, start JBoss like this: su -l jboss -c '/apps/jboss/bin/run.sh -c foo.bar.com -b 172.25.1.52 -Dbind.address=w.x.y.z -Djboss.partition.name=foo.bar.com --udp=224.10.10.10 > /dev/null 2> /dev/null &' where w.x.y.z is an IP address associated with bond1. Also, FYI instead of -Djboss.partition.name=foo.bar.com you can use '-g foo.bar.com' or '--partition foo.bar.com' .
