LocalAddress and Ephemeral ports - how do I find out where Netty bound?

["Trustin Lee (이희승)"]

Hi Florian,

Are you using the local transport?  The local transport is not
compatible to the socket transport.  It uses completely different
address type - LocalAddress, and it does not accept InetSocketAddress.

There was a request about adding a variant of the local transport that
is compatible with the socket transport.  I might work on it in the next
major feature release:

    https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/NETTY-212

Please put a watch on it so that you are notified on resolution.
Perhaps you could even contribute! :)

Thanks,
Trustin
