Isn't transport.host is used to bind to or publish a certain IP address of a node?  
If yes, then it cannot be used to specify remote host that will used to connect to for discovery.  
But I did try both of the following settings, and neither of it works -

transport.host: 192.168.1.8  
http\_host: 192.168.1.8

I get same NoNodeNameAvailable exception.
