If a host has a network interface configured with multiple logical interfaces, Naming.rebind() fails. For example, I have a host phys-hoho with IP address 192.9.76.8 on controller le2. When I configure two additional logical interfaces on the same controller using ifconfig(1), Naming.rebind() fails. I set the logical interfaces to be le2:1, le2:2 and le2:3 with IP addresses 192.9.76.123, 192.9.76.124 and 192.9.76.125 and configure them up.

I get following error from my program:
Test.main - url is //phys-hoho/Test
Test.main - Server RemoteException; nested exception is:
        java.rmi.AccessException: Registry.rebind 192.9.76.125/192.9.76.125 != phys-hoho/192.9.76.8
java.rmi.ServerException: Server RemoteException; nested exception is:
        java.rmi.AccessException: Registry.rebind 192.9.76.125/192.9.76.125 != phys-hoho/192.9.76.8
