>                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBNAME-51
>             Project: JBoss Naming
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: jnpserver
>    Affects Versions:  5.0.3.GA
>            Reporter: Dennis Reed
>
> org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.checkRef always loops through the provider list in order,
> trying to connect to the first before checking for a cached connection to a later provider.
> This affects performance because it can cause a delay on every context created, waiting for a timeout on a node that is down.
> For instance, the following takes a very long time when node1 is down.
>     ...
>     env.put ( Context.PROVIDER_URL, "node1:1100,node2:1100" );
>     for ( int i = 0; i < 1000; ++ i ) {
>         InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext ( env );
>         ...
>     }
> If checkRef looked for a cached connection to any of the listed providers before trying to connect to an uncached one,
> there would only be a timeout delay on the very first connection attempt.
> Note: This would change the behavior of the client when node1 comes back up in the middle, 
> so would not be eligible for an EAP patch release.
