When nema ip set to other than localhost (another IP on the same subnet) , Bridgecommand-bc performance is reduced, takes seconds to respond, etc...
After some thought, I realized that the server IP can not be anything but the server IP, unless you had multiple NIC cards.
So I guess this is not really a bug report but maybe a suggestion to make that setting dummy proof against someone like me who might set it to an IP that will choke bridgecommand-bc
