Hi,
I have a question about IIOP failover/high availability (with GlassFish, in memory replication).
[quote]However, a client should have at least two endpoints specified for bootstrapping purposes, in case one of the endpoints has failed.

Up to now I realised this by adding two target-servers to the sun-acc.xml and then running:
appclient -xml my-sun-acc.xml -client myEJBClient.jar
That's my sun-acc.xml:
[...]
<client-container>
<target-server name="server1" address="192.168.0.1" port="33700"/>
<target-server name="server2" address="192.168.0.2" port="33700"/>
<property name="com.sun.appserv.iiop.loadbalancingpolicy" value="ic-based"/>
[...]
If both servers are unavailable, but e.g. server3 and server4 are running, my client doesn't run, because the client just knows the address of server1 & server2.
Can I also use a DNS lookup for that purpose? I mean, I edit my sun-acc.xml:
[...]
<client-container>
<target-server name="server" address="servers.domain.com" port="33700"/>
<property name="com.sun.appserv.iiop.loadbalancingpolicy" value="ic-based"/>
[...]
and the dns lookup gets e.g. 4 addresses, 192.168.0.1, .2, .3 and .4?
Would this work or is this not possible? Maybe, the client does not do a dns lookup or just tries the first ip he gets from the dns lookup.
It would be nice if some can help me, because I cannot test this on my local machine and I have to know this for a paper.
Greetings
Hannes
