I tried to setup the LONI Pipeline server such that I could connect to it outside of rotman. If the outside ip address is used to connect to the server or the server has the outside ip address in its config file then it will not operate. IIRC it throws some null pointer exception? I expect this is because ninja cannot connect to itself through ninja.rotman-baycrest.on.ca

Tested on loni 5.3 build 4053.

Reproduce:

client	server	works
ninja.rotman-baycrest.on.ca	ninja.rotman-baycrest.on.ca	No
ninja.rotman-baycrest.on.ca	ninja	No
ninja.rotman-baycrest.on.ca	localhost	No
ninja	ninja.rotman-baycrest.on.ca No
ninja	ninja	Yes
ninja	localhost	Yes
ninja	172.24.0.248	Yes
172.24.0.248	172.24.0.248	Yes

Expected to see:
A successful connection.

Saw Instead:
A failed connection and a null pointer exception on the server side.
