Maximilian Michels commented on FLINK-2821:
-------------------------------------------
Wouldn't it work to use the "Internet host name" for all communication?
The exact host name match is a restriction of the Akka RPC library. There is
not much we can do about it; at least for now until we replace Akka. The patch
enables us to bind to all interfaces but we still have to use a single
"logical" address.
> Change Akka configuration to allow accessing actors from different URLs

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Distributed Coordination
> Reporter: Robert Metzger

> Akka expects the actor's URL to be exactly matching.
> As pointed out here, cases where users were complaining about this:
> http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/Error-trying-to-access-JM-through-proxy-td3018.html
> - Proxy routing (as described here, send to the proxy URL, receiver
> recognizes only original URL)
> - Using hostname / IP interchangeably does not work (we solved this by
> always putting IP addresses into URLs, never hostnames)
> - Binding to multiple interfaces (any local 0.0.0.0) does not work. Still
> no solution to that (but seems not too much of a restriction)
> I am aware that this is not possible due to Akka, so it is actually not a
> Flink bug. But I think we should track the resolution of the issue here
> anyways because its affecting our user's satisfaction.
