No, they are supposed to enter the domain name of the squid-server, which
is something like www.mycompanyname.de. The internal network is NOT visible
to the outside, thus the JBoss server does not need to be reached via
domain name. BTW., the internal doamin is mycompanyname.net, therefore
different than what is visible on the outside. SO the only thing I could
possibly do, is to define something like jboss.mycompany.net in /etc/hosts
but I cannot use mycompany.de. If I would do this, would there be any
advantage in comparison of just using plain IP-addresses?
