[Bela Ban (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1254?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12951820#comment-12951820 ] 

Bela Ban commented on JGRP-1254:
--------------------------------

The code for catching IOExceptions has been removed in JGRP-1765 as we're now using the DatagramSocket to send multicasts

> We did the same test with Weblogic and it is able to reconnect after a network failure.
> I had a quick look at the code of JGroups and I think that we can override this limit by a minor modification. It is not necessary to recreate a socket in case of the raise of an NoRouteToHostException, we can bind the socket to the interface. I've modified the code to catch the NoRouteToHostException and now my cluster works well and JBoss and reconnect properly.
> I've modified the _send method of UDP class like this :
