All I can say is that this affects our JC application too. We allow
the connection URL to be set in a login window, but any changes
after the first connection attempt are ignored; the original URL
seems to stick as you say. This problem has been annoying for a long
time but I always put it down to the fact that this
com
.webobjects
.eoapplication.client.EOClientApplicationSupport.main(...) method
was obviously not meant to be used in the way us non-nibber JC
people use it to establish the client/server connection. I think its
time we were given an initialisation method to call instead of
hijacking this main() method.

just in case I am wrong about my loop being OK, the code is below.

for(String url : urls){

try{

It does look to me as though
EOClientApplicationSupport.runStartupDialogs(NSDictionary) is supposed
to do this for you. i.e., giving the client the opportunity to try a
different url.
Is that not the case?
If not, you might be able to fix this by doing one or both of the
following... inbetween each attempt:
-------
(a)
// fix the merging of arguments so old ones don't stick in favour of
new ones
NSMutableDictionary args = new NSMutableDictionary();
if ( EOApplication.arguments() != null )
args.addEntriesFromDictionary( EOApplication.arguments() );
args.setObjectForKey( url, ApplicationURLProperty );
EOApplication.setArguments( args );
// and just to be safe:
NSProperties._setProperty( ApplicationURLProperty, url );
-------
(b)
Set channelClassName property and provide a subclass of EOHTTPChannel.
If you don't trust the applicationURL provided, grab the next attempt
from your main application instance.
