Steve Loughran commented on SFOS-1214:
--------------------------------------

Looking at this, barring some experiments with entries in /etc/hosts on the client and server, this is a wontfix for using RMI. Hence we need a long-haul deployment API that isnt based on RMI. The cddlm api is there today, may need retesting, else move up to something RESTy based on JAX-RS.

> If you bring up SF behind a NAT-firewalled host, even if it routes the port, the address is wrong and RMI doesn't know what to do.
> This is an RMI problem.
