Custom Eureka Metadata (preferIpAddress)

[osmedd]

I have created a eureka-client.properties files and put it on the CLASSPATH (verified it is loaded by munging the eureka serviceUrl and seeing things fail) but I cannot seem to force Hazelcast to register with the host IP address. I see other applications in our eureka setup have a registered hostname of the IP address, which turns out to be required due to some unforeseen DNS issues.

Here is my eureka-client.properties file (I tried a prefix of both hazelcast and eureka on a couple different permutations of preferIpAddress in case my reading skills had failed):

hazelcast.shouldUseDns=false
hazelcast.name=hazelcast
hazelcast.serviceUrl.default=http://my.secret.host:8080/eureka/v2
hazelcast.instance.preferIpAddress=true
hazelcast.preferIpAddress=true
eureka.instance.preferIpAddress=true
eureka.preferIpAddress=true

Is there a different way to get Hazelcast to register just the IP address? I also tried setting hostName directly (as the IP address) and that did not seem to show up in eureka either.

Thanks,
Owen
