I am not sure that this is going to work with wotaskd and friends. What does hostname show on this machine? serverb.internal or something else? If something else, that is probably the name you want to be using. Unless it says XXXX.local, which you really don't want to use. :-)

Thanks for your help Chuck.

To get this straight, are you saying that:

unix hostname == WOHost == Javamonitor host name

That is, we should be setting these three things to match each other. If we have two application servers, then WOHost should be set for each instance to point to the hostname of the machine it is running on, regardless of where Apache is running.


The docs for WOHost say "The name of the host on which the application is running or, in a multihomed environment, the address of the adaptor the application should use. See the host method of WOApplication for details." I don't quite get the 'address of the adaptor' part. It seems to indicate something about the URL or the machine Apache is running on, but I don't understand how that makes any sense.

Since we want to keep WebObjects hidden away from the world on private IP addresses (which are networked between servers in the cluster on a separate gigabit switch and separate NICs), then we've mapped serverA.internal and serverB.internal to those private IP addresses. It sounds like this isn't possible under WO without also having the machine's hostname pointing to the same private host/IP.

Is the above a fair summary of this position? Do the new Project Wonder versions of wotaskd/javamonitor suffer from these same limitations?

Thanks
Ari
