Symptoms

DNS alias has been created and the ListenAddress of the AdminServer is set to "console.<domainname>". So the Weblogic console is accessible using http://console.<domainname>:<adminPort>/console.
But when navigating to the servers page in the domain structure, it gives the error: 

404 Not Found
<>

When using the console with the IP address instead, the issue is not seen. 

Also, when test by adding DNS alias into the /etc/hosts file:

admincls.<domainname> dns-alias 

and access the WebLogic console with http://admincls.<domainname>:<adminPort>/console, no issue is seen.
