Proxy to 127.0.0.1

in Help Center
It seems that if I create a proxy with a default endpoint such as
TestObject.Endpoint=default -p 10000
Then the proxy I get for this object points to 127.0.0.1:10000 - that is the local host. So when I give this proxy to a remote machine, it naturally can't find the requested service. This only seems to happen when such a proxy is created on our (Redhat) Linux machines. Similar proxies created on our windows machines seem to work just fine.
Naturally I can work around the problem by explicitly specifying a host for the endpoint, but that makes it a bit problematic to move the server between machines.

Can you check the value returned by the "hostname" command on your Linux machine? I suspect it's "localhost".
