I am using Jboss 5.1. Earlier I was binding Jboss to 0.0.0.0. But for security reasons, I have got a requirement to bind my Jboss to localhost (127.0.0.1) so that all my ports are connected to localhost instead of public IPs.

Once I try starting Jboss with run.sh -b 127.0.0.1, my Jboss doesnot come up because my RMI server is bound to public IP of my server ( -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=192.168.2.83). The exception is below:

I need some help on this. I have to start Jboss with -b 127.0.0.1 with RMI server hostname as public IP (-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=192.168.2.83). How can I bind my RMI on public IP of my server when I am starting my Jboss with -b 127.0.0.1?
