I'm sorry but I don't follow this.

Let's assume you're sending messages from host A to host B.
On host A you're sending messages, so you need to configure a connection factory. If you omit the addressList from this
connection factory then messages will be sent to the local host (host A).
On host B you're receiving messages using a MDB, so you need to configure an activation spec. You need to configure
addressList on this activation spec to specify that messages will be received from host A. (If you omit this you would
receive messages from host B, which is pointless since host B doesn't have any messages).

Yes
You can configure an application to send messages to a queue located on any Glassfish instance, anywhere on the network.
All you need to do is to set its hostname and JMS port in the addressList property of the connection factory.
You can configure a MDB to consume messages from a queue located on any Glassfish instance, anywhere on the network. All
you need to do is to set its hostname and JMS port in the addressList property of the MDB's activation spec.
