Can a computer with multiple IP cards run as a multiple host?
Yes it can. In order to get the multi IP address setup to work, set the environment variable AM_HOST_NAME to the IP address of the interface you want to use. You can set BROKER_HOST on each machine to the correct IP address as well. BROKER_HOST can take an IP address as well as a name. AM_HOST_NAME can take an IP address as well as a name. For example: On main machine (with two interfaces 1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2.2) you want to use 1.1.1.1, so set AM_HOST_NAME on that machine to 1.1.1.1 set BROKER_HOST to 1.1.1.1 on that machine then, start the broker, database and agent. On all other machines set BROKER_HOST to be 1.1.1.1 and set AM_HOST_NAME to the interface they want to use on that machine (if there are two). AM_HOST_NAME is the IP or host name of the current machine. This is used when the current machine has got more than one host name (or IP address) and you need to specify which one to use. Thus, if an agent was running on a machine that had two IP addresses, then you would have to use
