Bind error messages should report incorrect IP addresses
--------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JGRP-1280
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1280
             Project: JGroups
          Issue Type: Enhancement
    Affects Versions: 2.11
            Reporter: Manik Surtani
            Assignee: Bela Ban

Not tried on 2.12, etc as yet.  This is when you specify an incorrect bind address - one that is not available on the target host - and instead of reporting this, JGroups attempts to increase the port number and retry, eventually failing with a port being out of range.  This can be very misleading as it leads you to debug conflicting ports, etc., when in fact the problem is a badly configured IP address.

This was reported a few years back on the forums, but I've still seen the issue on JGroups 2.11.
