Support accessing multiple GossipRouters in TUNNEL
--------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JGRP-430
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-430
             Project: JGroups
          Issue Type: Feature Request
    Affects Versions: 2.5
            Reporter: Bela Ban
         Assigned To: Bela Ban
             Fix For: 2.6


Multiple GossipRouters can only be used for lookups, not for routing... However, since all traffic to the GR goes out via TUNNEL (as JGroups transport), and TUNNEL uses a RouterStub to send a message to the GR, we could do the following:

   * the RouterStub is currently configured with the address of *one* GR
   * a Stub.send() succeeds in connecting to the GR and sending the
     message, or goes into a state where it tries to reconnect *forever*
   * I could simply change that to configure the RouterStub with
     multiple GRs:
         o for send(), we iterate through the GRs until send() returns
           true 

EFFECT: a GossipRouter is not a single point of failure any longer
