Cluster Glassfish on Vmware VMs. (validate-multicast failed)

Hello Shreedhar, Hi everybody,

Is there a known issue with using Gassfish 3.1.2.2 clustering on Vmware ?
In a nutshell, in my DEV environment I have 1 physical server and 4 Vms on
it (all running Debian 6)
On one VM, I have DAS with the by default localhost domain and on 2 others
VM I have 2 other GF 3.1.2.2 installed.
(on the fourth VM, iPlanet Webserver 7 for loadbalancing).
What I did, in a very easily way, is to create a cluster (with the basic
commands) and then create some SSH nodes from the DAS on the 2 others GF.
All happens well, always. I have any problem, to ping the different hosts,
in and outside Glassfish.
Yet, the validate-mulitcast command with or without options behind has never
worked, even on loopback !

Iąm really getting crazy with that (as much as with mu SSL certificate ;-) )
And, when I launch the small application (clusterjsp for example) with some
instances created on the both SSH nodes, it seems that the failover session
(with iplanet LB) works only
when we switch between 2 instances on the same node else it fails..as if the
instances didnąt see each other...

At the end, I am wondering if there was any link with the fact that it is
running on Vmware... Hopefully NO !

Thanks in advance dream team ! ;-)
