Hello again, I have a new question regarding the BindException which I receive when I start certain nodes in my cluster. I have a vertical cluster defined, which works as of now. The I.P.'s are concurrent, (i.e. 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2, 10.0.0.3). Now I want to introduced another set of concurrent nodes, with a different range of I.p. addresses. (i.e. 10.0.0.11, 10.0.0.12, 10.0.0.13). When I do this, the first range of nodes (1-3) see the new nodes, but I get BindingExceptions when I start my new nodes. Can someone please explain to me why the new nodes (ip's 11-13) must have different port numbers? All nodes are referring to the same cluster, (DefaultPartition). I do not understand why the first set of nodes are able to use the same port numbers, while the second set of nodes must have different values... Any advice/tips/guidance is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance... View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4100633#...
