The docs for WOHost say "The name of the host on which 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.
multihomed means one machine with multiple ip-interfaces (ethernet-
adaptors).
So the sentence says that you should tell your app which of these
interface to listen to.
It has nothing to do with multiple instances or multiple machines.
Sorry to split hairs, but "the address of the adaptor the application
should use" means what? Requests come *from* (several) machines with
Apache adaptors *to* the WOApplication. You imply that the docs mean
that WOHost should point to the host/IP of the interface on which
those requests come in. That's not really what the docs say: they
refer to the address of the adaptor. But which one? There could be
more than one such adaptors on different Apache front end servers. For
that matter I don't even understand why it matters which interface
those requests come in on, as long as they hit the application on the
right port.
But I guess that's why there are so many emails in the list archives
all complaining around this issue of reverse lookups, DNS, etc. The
issues which they appear to cause are very subtle. We hope to make
changes to our deployment tomorrow to see if this fixes things for us.
We looked at the Anjo version of Java monitor today, but weren't game
to try it in our production environment. It looks a little...
unfinished. But who knows what improvements have gone on behind the
GUI to improve its reliability. All very welcome.
Cheers
