In trying to solve the issues and get GlassFish to work, I contacted the
support department of our hosting company (Rackspace) and here's their
feedback:
Hi...
When you do the 'telnet localhost 80' (or any other ports) it's showing the
remote address 123.123.123.123. This address resolves to mydomain.com and is
not part of the Rackspace infrastructure.
It looks to me like your /etc/hosts is messing things up as telneting to
localhost should really only go to 127.0.0.1, which is the servers local
loopback address.
With the examples you've pasted... the connections are going outbound through
the firewall to the remote server 123.123.123.123 and not staying local. Is
this what you wanted to happen, or are you expecting the connections to stay
local and be formed from the server to the server?
If you wanted the connections to go out to 123.123.123.123, then the firewall
is not restricting this, but the remote end might be.
Thanks
K.
What am I supposed to ask for? The traffic should stay local?
