Hi there,

I'm quite puzzled by the following and hope someone will be able
to help me.

Server Configuration:
Win2K
Sun JDK 1.3.1_03-b03
JBoss 3.2.2 (build: CVSTag=JBoss_3_2_2 date=200311131353)

Client Configuration:
Win2K or WinNT4
Sun JDK 1.3.1_03-b03

I try to set up a multi-homed app-server to run twin jboss servers
on the same machine based on the default configuration. The application
is an EJB application packaged in an EAR accessed from a swing client by RMI calls.

To avoid change to deployment ant tasks, I decided to activate two IP address on the server, say "x.x.60.82" and "x.x.160.82", and have the DNS configured to match them with two distinct hostname, say "myname" and "myname2". I started the twin jboss server with the --host=myname (resp. myname2) parameters to bind the distinct hostname to each instance (@see org.jboss.system.server.ServerConfig.SERVER_BIND_ADDRESS).

[Note that the smtp service of the second-launched server seems not to support the binding and fails to start, but I'm not using the service anyway]

I copied my ear and datasource configuration in both deploy directories.
I checked the two admin consoles (http://<server-hostname>:8080/jmx-console),
and everything seems to have deployed correctly under the specified JNDI mapping, as say the server logs also.

I the jboss.j2ee, I actually see for both instance:
# jndiName=alisfin/facade/user,service=EJB

I can connect from a client on the first hostname (myname/60.82), first means here in the order of IP declaration on the network adapter I guess (no clue yet).

However, when I try to connect to the second server from another client, from same client-host or not, the lookup of EJBHome fails. Below is some useful trace (not to long):

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
