InetAddress.getByName fails

[Robert Garrido]

Hi,

I have an app in a cluster, this cluster has a master node which seizes an internal IP defined in all /etc/hosts file among the members of this cluster, when using the API:

new Socket(remoteHost, port, InetAddress.getByName(masterHostName), mastertPort);

"InetAddress.getByName(masterHostName)" fails and throws the exception:


java.net.SocketException: Invalid argument or cannot assign requested address
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method)

Does anybody why it fails?

Thanks in advanced.
