You will need to have the service called something different than the server
name so traffic can be routed correctly - probably jud.vkhdli08.hda.hydro.com.
This should be set both in the service section for jud, and the agents block
within the jsm 'sessions' configuration (the former telling the server how it
should contact users-agent, the latter telling clients that the jud exists and
where). There may be a requirement that jud.vkhdli08.hda.hydro.com be
resolvable, if the users-agent uses a socket for the connection - in that case
I'd recommend tossing that in the /etc/hosts file. Clients will speak to
jud.vkhdli08.hda.hydro.com through the server, so they won't need to know the
IP themselves.
