Doesn't this cause a problem with posix OSes? If you listen on localhost on a
linux machine, it will listen on the loopback interface, which means that you
won't be able to accept remote connections.
I recently had a lot of trouble trying to get remote JMX working on a linux
server (it worked fine locally). After checking my config 15 times, playing
with iptables, and slamming my head on my desk for a while, I gave up and
figured I would come back to it later. It sounds possible (if not likely) that
this was my problem. I'm no system administrator, so let me know if I'm off
base here.
