Hi Andy,
The couchdb.config supplies overlay variables to the reltool application that
generates the actual bootable release. If you change the values in that config
file you need to rebuild the release in order for them to take effect. Did you
confirm that the vm.args file for node-2 included the updated -name flag?
Cheers,
Adam
