Hi, I need some info on connection to JBoss in Cluster mode. I'll brief what we are trying to achieve. We are clustering jboss using Gossip Router because one of our jboss is on vpn network and other on static public facing IP (Firewalled) Issue : Cluster works fine, the problem when we establish the connection from client side which is firewall on public IP but can access via vpn Setup: Gossip Router running on Static and VPN IP JBOSS NODE 1 : Running/Binding on VPN IP JBOSS NODE 2 : Running/Binding on STATIC IP Now when we try to connect to jboss using jnlp it show these lines in java console. network: Connecting socket://vpnip:1199 with proxy=DIRECT network: Connecting socket://vpnip:1198 with proxy=DIRECT network: Connecting socket://vpnip:5446 with proxy=DIRECT network: Connecting socket://public:5446 with proxy=DIRECT network: Connecting socket://public:5446 with proxy=DIRECT What i don't understand here is, connecting to jboss on VPNIP goes fine upto port 5446 but then it tries to connect to public IP as well on port 5446 which is firewalled. Then it keep retrying for 20 to 30 min and then establish the connection to jboss. Can anyone suggest how can we connect to just VPNIP if we make connection to vpn only. Thanks in advance.
