Check the other app properties that your are or could be setting:
http://developer.apple.com/legacy/mac/library/#documentation/WebObjects/WOAppProperties/Articles/ApplicationProperties.html%23//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40005337-SW1

Specifically, WOCGIAdaptorURL.  These should all use the same host.  I would 
avoid using Daisy.local.

That seems like a reasonable thing to try.  I am not currently using this 
component.
