I fixed the code to use properly a socket-binding for HornetQ cluster 
configuration.

Now, I want to be able to run separate clusters on the same network 
(that's the original issue raised by QA ).
I will do that by adding a property extension to the messaging-group's 
multicast-address:

<socket-binding name="messaging-group" 
multicast-address="${jboss.hornetq.cluster.address:231.7.7.7}" 
multicast-port="9876"/>

1) What's the convention for naming this property? 
jboss.hornetq.cluster.address or jboss.messaging.group.address something 
else?

2) At first, I wanted to run separate clusters using port offset. 
However there is nothing similar for the multicast-port. Does that make 
sense to add it or is it really specific to this HornetQ conf?


thanks,
jeff
