[Geoserver-users] Setting hostname for IPVS environment

[Daryl H. <ak...@ia...>]

Hi,

I'm struggling trying to figure out how to configure the hostname 
in Geoserver (1.4.0b2 on linux x86_64, java-1.5.0-bea)

My environment is a Linux IPVS cluster, with geoserver running on a 
'real-server' with an IP of 10.10.10.40 .  I'm using apache's proxy pass 
to forward traffic from the webfarm nodes to geoserver, so when I hit this 
url from external:

http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/geoserver/

I can access geoserver...

The issue is that all of the links on the admin page reference 
10.10.10.40:8080, which is not valid outside of the IPVS cluster.

How can I configure geoserver so that it knows its hostname is 
mesonet.agron.iastate.edu ?

I suspect this is trivial to set up and I missed it in the docs :(

thanks!
