hi,

I am trying to configure a host with two servers, each server bound to a different IP address.

The relevant fragments from domain.xml and host.xml:

domain.xml:

{code:xml}
<interfaces>
  <interface name="management"/>
  <interface name="public"/>
</interfaces>
 
<server-groups>
  <server-group name="main-server-group" profile="default">
    <socket-binding-group ref="standard-sockets"/>
  </server-group>
</server-groups>
{code}

host.xml:

{code:xml}
 
<interfaces>
  <interface name="management">
    <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.management:127.0.0.1}"/>
  </interface>
</interfaces>
 
<servers>
  <server name="server-one" group="main-server-group">
    <interface name="public">
      <inet-address value="192.168.1.20"/> 
    </interface>
  </server>
  <server name="server-two" group="main-server-group">
    <interface name="public">
      <inet-address value="192.168.1.21"/>
    </interface>
  </server>
</servers>
{code}

However, when I start up my domain, I got a stack trace saying that the "public" interface is already defined.

[Host Controller] 13:04:46,191 ERROR [org.jboss.as.controller.management-operation] (Controller Boot Thread) JBAS014612: Operation ("add") failed - address: ([

(remainder of the stacktrace removed)

The only way till now I found to make this setup work is by defining a "public1" and a "public2" interface, and configure these in server-one and server-two respectively.

However, this requires me to duplicate the socket-binding-group definitions in domain.xml, as the socket-binding-group is bound to an interface, so I need a socket-binding group for interface "public1" and a socket-binding group for interface "public2".

For two servers this is doable, but become quite tedious if I would need to configure more servers on one box.

Is there another way to achieve this?

Thx
