The master slave connection is running, but when i try to run a job using the Fitnesse plugin and specify the Fitnesse Host as 'localhost' if fails to connect, even though in the Slave config I have specified a HOST_NAME as the servers FQDN. However if I change the 'localhost' value on the job to the FQDN name it will connect and run the job. I need to use the 'localhost' value so that my job can connect to the next available slave, in my scenario i'm using 4 slaves, so i do not want my jobs to be bound to 1 slave. This was not an issue in JAVA 1.6.0_b45, however i did downgrade to this version but this feature no longer works, any assistance would be appreciated, i have exhausted google for an answer.
