Just remember that you cannot start or stop the server from inside NB....
Another choice is to start the server from outside the IDE and register the server as a REMOTE domain (even though it is 'local').
This will help prevent you from stopping/starting the server from inside NB and prevent the stop on shutdown behavior...
