No, I can't...and, to be honest, I don't want. We're under RHEL 5 into production. like already said before, the esb servers use an dhcp into their VLAN, and the administration server is out of this VLAN, so out of the DHCP. It's normal, for a classic security pattern. BUT, the agent can, if it knows the master node IP or hostname, to connect to the esb system.
now if i manually map the hostname into the /etc/hosts:
->when (and not "if", it will arrive) an IP will change under the esb (after a during esb stop, server stop, or a global reallocation of IP by the dhcp,...), the local /etc/hosts must be manually change again: it's not possible
->we've got 4 nodes. It seems that if we connect the nodes, we must put all the IP/hostname pair, one after one, into the /etc/hosts to workaround this issue. For a "scalable" esb, it's not very "running compliant"
.
The esb 3.1.1 is started, with the IP of the server (eth0) into the topology.xml
