NameService and getHostByName()

Hi all,

I'm using OB 4.0.5 and I'm trying to start a NameService on a Liinux Gentoo box.
I would like the NameService to use numeric IP addresses only, without having
to add the IP-hostname correspondence in /etc/hosts.

Whe I try to start the service, with:

java -cp ./Bin/OB-0.4.5.jar:./Bin/OBNaming-0.4.5.jar:.. com.ooc.CosNaming.Server -OAnumeric -OAport 1974 -OAhost=10.107.127.143 -i

the service fails with the following error message:

org.omg.CORBA.COMM_FAILURE: gethostbyname() failed: java.net.UnknownHostException: gentoo8: gentoo8  vmcid: 0x4f4f0000  minor code: 14  completed: No
        at com.ooc.OCI.IIOP.Acceptor_impl.<init>(Acceptor_impl.java:506)
        at com.ooc.OCI.IIOP.AccFactory_impl.create_acceptor(AccFactory_impl.java:158)
        at com.ooc.OBPortableServer.POAManagerFactory_impl.create_poa_manager(POAManagerFactory_impl.java:157)
        at com.ooc.OB.ORBControl.initializeRootPOA(ORBControl.java:548)

        at com.ooc.CosNaming.Server.run(Server.java:131)
        at com.ooc.CosNaming.Server.main(Server.java:371)

Note that gentoo8 is the hostname of my machine. Why does the NameService try to get the IP address of the machine? Is there a way to force it to use only numeric IP addresses?

Thanks for help,
Alessandro
