There is a solution to the LeasePinger problem in a later version of Remoting (2.2.2.SP7 or above). For example, 2.2.2.SP8 ships with AS 4.2.3. In particular, when the org.jboss.remoting.ConnectionValidator running on the client determines that the connection to the server has failed, it turns off the org.jboss.remoting.LeasePinger. See JIRA issue JBREM-891 https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBREM-891 for some discussion. Or see Section "8.3. Interactions between client side and server side connection monitoring" in the Remoting Guide (http://www.jboss.org/jbossremoting/docs/guide/2.2/html/index.html).
