Hi,

I've got an slightly odd problem. I've got a network with a java-app
server, and on the same network another PC with my java client. The
server is also a proxy server, so has a visible IP address on the
Internet aswell as the internal address. There is also a DNS alias
setup for the external IP address, for which the java client is
connecting to.

The problem is that when a connection request is made by the client,
the server creates TWO connections; one for the LAN address, and one
for the external address! This never showed itself until now because
the system was being run on the localhost.

Has anyone got any solutions/suggestions to this problem please? My
java networking abilities are fairly limited; i nicked the connection
code from a sun tutorial and i undertand how that works, but little
else.

Thanks in advance,
