[rabbitmq-discuss] Naming RabbitMQ nodes with complete domain names

[Alvaro Videla]

Have you tried changing the Erlang option -sname to -name?

That's the way Erlang uses to specify long names.

See http://erlang.org/doc/man/erl.html and then modify your rabbitmq-server script accordingly. 

Cheers,

Alvaro
