> in a distribibuted domain environment (ie. typical production env.) host name in host.xml must be unique :
> <host xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:1.1"
>       name="RichS">
> otherwise we get a startup error. To avoid having to modify this config for all machines (could be 10^3), we need a way to default this to a unique id. One idea would be to have a UUID property generated from the host-ip + process-id. That would provide unique IDs across the domain and also allow multiple instances per machine.
> In domain mode this really should be the default (ie. we shold always use the property in domain/configuration/host.xml).
> Note : if we do use host-ip+process-id then the ID is going to be different every time the process start - that may be a problem in itself.
