>             Project: WildFly
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Clustering

> If EAP 7.0.0.DR2 is started with -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=false (and java.net.preferIPv6Addresses=false) then JGroups convert IPv4 multicast address (jboss.default.multicast.address=230.0.0.4) to IPv6 anycast address on dualstack machines.
> This is done in class org.jgroups.conf.PropertyConverters (line 291-295):
> {code}
> ...
>                 if(retval instanceof Inet4Address && retval.isMulticastAddress() && Util.getIpStackType() == StackType.IPv6) {
>                     String tmp=prefix + propertyValue;
>                     retval=InetAddress.getByName(tmp);
>                     return retval;
>                 }
> ...
> {code}
> This behaviour is overriding user preference to use IPv4 multicast instead of IPv6 anycast. Can this conversion be removed?
