Bela Ban commented on JGRP-1750:
--------------------------------

Would you want to set an {{AddressGenerator}} both for (1) nodes in the local cluster and the bridge cluster, or (2) only for nodes of the bridge cluster ? 
The latter case is simple: we could allow to set an {{AddressGenerator}} in Relayer, and use it to generate an address which would then we wrapped with a SiteUUID.
The former case is more generic: in essence, this would allow for multiple {{AddressGenerator}}s to build an address. 
So is your use case (1) or (2) ?

> When defining a relay channel, we haven't the ability to set an AddressGenrator. Indeed, the Relayer uses its own AddressGenerator providing addresses of type SiteUUID. 
> This is particularly embarrassing in the following case: when we define a customized address format (like CanBeSiteMasterTopology or TopologyUUID) for members of two Sites A and B, address format is lost by crossing relay. Address type of messages sent by A to B are seen as SiteUUID at B side.
> Suggestions:
> - Making address format "relayable" ?
> - Using the same (or an extended format) AddressGenerator of site Channel
