[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JGRP-1521) RELAY2: only some members can become site masters

RELAY2: only some members can become site masters ------------------------------------------------- Key: JGRP-1521 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1521 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Feature Request Reporter: Bela Ban Assignee: Bela Ban Fix For: 3.2 Currently, every node in a local cluster (site) can become site master (relaying messages between sites). This requires an internal and external NIC; the former to talk to the local cluster nodes, and the latter to talk to the remote sites. If only a few nodes have multiple NIC, and/or access to the external world, then we should be able to restrict who can become a site master and who cannot. E.g. if we have view {A,B,C,D,E,F}, then perhaps only A and C can become site masters. In this case, if A crashes or leaves, then *C* should become the new site master. Investigate how feasible it is to implement selective site masters.
