Hi,
        Is there way to programmatically build the Management Server's API URL 
from inside the code? I am intending to pass this to a network element, which 
will do API call back to the Management Server.
        Currently,
                I am getting the IP from 
"configDao.getValue(Config.ManagementHostIPAdr.key());"
                Hardwiring Port to 8080
                Hardwiring URI to /client/api
                Result: https://<ms_ip>:8080/client/api

        Is there a better way? Is there anything special that has to be done 
for cluster deployments?

        Also, are there any other issues, will this require a NAT of some kind 
to reach the Management Server? Or Is there a firewall config that has to be 
done? Or will the management server be multi-homed with many nics with one ip 
per nic? Can we figure this out programmatically before sending the URL to the 
network element.


Doing TCP connections back to yourself is something you should prevent 
at all times. How are you going to do this with the login credentials?

I'm missing the point why you should do a callback to itself?
