"localhost" is a convenience. If the instance and the DAS are on
the same host then we detect that and bypass SSH no matter how
the instance or its node was created. The following works without SSH
$ hostname
sidewinder
$ asadmin create-node-config --nodehost sidewinder.us.oracle.com --installdir
\${com.sun.aas.installRoot} n_sidewinder
$ asadmin create-instance --node n_sidewinder i_sidewinder
$ asadmin start-instance n_instance
Of course it is easier to just use "--node localhost" in this case unless
you want the ability to move the DAS but not the instance to another
host later.
