[jboss-user] [JBoss Cache: Core Edition] - Replicated Cache - Failover & Failback

We have a 2 node replicated cache i.e. 
node1 --> application instance 1 --> cache instance 1
node2 --> application instance 2 --> cache instance 2

According to the configuration below, everything seems to work fine. i.e when node 1 is shutdown and brought back up, any changes made to cache instance 2 are replicated.

Problem: - However, what if the application server node is still running, but only the cache instance on node 1 has to be shutdown or crashes. I would think that the application on node 1 can access to the cache on node 2. That does'nt happen though. Is it possible to have a configuration wherein, all the instances in the clustered cache are searched for.

I even tried the ClusteredCacheLoader as shown in the configuration below, but that does not make a difference. Isi'nt that what ClusteredCacheLoader is used for??
