Perhaps we are straying from the main topic here a little, so I will keep it brief. Thanks for your feedback and we'll see how things work tomorrow when we move the server's hostname to match the Javamonitor host name and the application's WOHost.

We talk about ETHERNET-adaptors, physical sockets to put a TP-cable in, not about mod_WebObjects or Apache.

Possible, its been a long time since I've heard NICs referred to as an adaptor. But possible. I'd find it odd that WO would know anything about the physical hardware layer and whether you were running ethernet, ATM, PPP or any other type of interface.


Apache has nothing to do with it. And you only should have only one ethernet-socket per network, so only one adaptor talks with the web- servers.

Assuming all your web servers are on the same network. In our case they are, but can't see why that necessarily is so.



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.

Every port is bound to exactly one interface. You can not listen on port 80 on ALL interfaces. You can only listen to 10.0.0.2:80 or/and 11.1.2.99:80
Maybe here is your misunderstanding of how ethernet and ports work.

Your statement is not true. Well, on Unix at least, I don't know about Windows. Under Unix an IP socket listener is not always associated with a specific IP address or network interface. Solaris and FreeBSD have jails/zones which allow you to do that, but certainly that is not the default behaviour.
