(This was accidentally sent privately; sending to list so the rest know)

You appear to be specifying the stork *agent*'s address as what should 
be the stork *server's* address for the parameter to `--server-url`, 
based on all of the information you provided.  If you're registering an 
agent that is running on the same host as the server, then your
`--server-url` parameter should be "http://172.27.0.245:8080" (note port 
8080, not 8081).
