Hi,
I can see this being set in an older installation here, but in many cases I
don’t even have an /etc/WebObjects directory, and I don’t recall ever setting
this property by hand.
We do have complex setups with apache on different hosts than wotaskd, but it
is sufficient to set the IP addresses of the wotaskd hosts in the apache
adaptor config file to reach them. However, we do not have applications on
hosts with no local wotaskd, so maybe that’s the one case where this would be
necessary?
