Hi,

started to play with Akka remoting and I hit a problem with singleton 
actors.

I have a 3 nodes Akka cluster with a singleton actor running somewhere 
under the /user/root/singleton path. 

I would like to send a message to this actor from any node in the cluster 
triggered by someone hitting a Play Controller endpoint.

AFAIK, what I need to do is to get the ActorRef using:

  
actorSystem.actorSelection("akka.tcp://mySystem@node1:2551/user/root/singleton")

What I don't like is that I need to know *where* the singleton actor is 
running (e.g. node1:2551). 

Is there a way to broadcast a query like "Are you there?" to all nodes 
having the singleton actor respond with an Identify ??

What I'm trying to achieve is something like:

  
 
actorSystem.actorSelection("akka.tcp://mySystem/user/root/singleton").mapTo[ActorRef]
 
! Hello

with Akka figuring out where the singleton is.

Not sure if is possible but worth asking :)

Best,
Ugo
