[AWIPS #ENN-874705]: EDEX hiccup

Hi Pete,

If by "alias" you mean the name or hostname of the machine, then you will also 
need to
update /awips2/edex/bin/setup.env

You probably need to update the EXT_ADDR at the top of the file.
You may also need to update /etc/hosts as well, but I would start with just the 
setup.env

You'll need to restart edex after making this change for it to go into effect.
Let me know if that helps?
