I tested this with version 2.6.0_rc1 awhile back with setting the hostname and a handful of other options which worked well at the time. Now that I've bumped the client up to 2.6.3 the settings just don't want to apply I thought it had something to do with an out-of place setting that I'm not aware of.
Any help would be great. Thanks!
Here's the contents of my default.properties file:
