log4j SocketServer issue

[Jonathan Cowherd <jo...@genscape.com>]

I'm on a internal network which doesn't resolve IPs to domain names.  It
looks as if org.apache.log4j.net.SocketServer will handle IPs for conf files
like:

java -cp log4j.jar org.apache.log4j.net.SocketServer 3000 log4j.properities
conf

and my remote config files are:

conf/192.168.15.103.lcf

I tried adding something to my /etc/hosts file and naming that IP
win.int.network.net and adding the following to my conf directory:

conf/win.int.network.net

But I still get the following when I write a test message:

[2003-01-03 16:20:19,067] Caught java.net.SocketException closing

What I've noticed is that the first file is ".lcf" as if it didn't get a
name for the IP.  Maybe it tries to get the name from the remote client.

I'm using log4j-1.2.7 with JDK 1.4.1 on SuSE Linux 8.0 Pro.

Thanks in advanced.
