If this will be of help, for v2.x, the heartbeat address and heartbeat
port attributes were defined in sun domain dtd :
http://fisheye5.cenqua.com/browse/glassfish/admin-core/config-api/dtds/sun-domain_1_3.dtd?r=HEAD
IIRC, the one pager for GMS config discusses the change in nomenclature
from heartbeat address to multicast address and heartbeat port to
multicast port. It was also discussed in an admin iteam meeting and
asarch review sometime back.
