Hi,

In Akka 2.1.4 I'm seeing the following behaviour. We have a set of actor 
systems on different boxes in the following configuration.

ActorSystemA (Actor 1)
                                         -
                                           |
                                           _
                                             > 
                                                  ActorSystemC (Actor 
3)                <-->                   ActorSystemD (Actor 4)  
                                          _>
                                          |
ActorSystemB (Actor 2)  -
 


If ActorSystem B dies it is causing timeouts between actor system C and D 
for a short period which I don't understand. They are not proper timeouts 
i.e. the timeout has not elapsed it's being triggered early and actorSystem 
D is up and responding I.e.


 
ActorSystemA (Actor 1)
                                       -
                                         |
                                          _
                                             > 
                                                 ActorSystemC (Actor 3) <- 
TIMEOUT! -> ActorSystemD (Actor 4) 
                                                                                
   

                                          
*ActorSystemB (Actor 2)* (DEAD) 


I've worked round it by creating a second actor system in the JVM that 
actorSystem C is on that is just used to obtain a remote actor ref to actor 
4 on ActorSystem D which prevents this behaviour happening. Has anyone else 
seen this behaviour? Is there a better way to prevent this happening?
 
Appoloigies for the diagrams, I originally had images but my company is 
blocking attachments to google groups :S

Thanks,

Brian
