JBoss development, A new message was posted in the thread "Partition and Node identities": http://community.jboss.org/message/529342#529342 Author : David Lloyd Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/david.lloyd@jboss.com Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- In that particular case especially - if a remote node attempts to connect, and nodes were using the bind address for their identity, then (for example) 0.0.0.0 would end up trying to talk to 0.0.0.0.  I think that bind address can explicitly +not+ be this identity for this reason.  Using a network interface is also undesirable for a similar reason.  I would think that the case of binding to localhost or 0.0.0.0, or having multiple network interfaces on a box, are both more common than running two instances on the same system.  That's why I suggested host name. -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/529342#529342
