Thank you for the very thorough reply Stefan!

However, what is the effect of sending a message to the server node? Does it automatically get pushed to basically ALL nodes in the collage session?

If I were to utilize this approach, (sendEvent via the Config from the remote nodes, receive on the application node and keep track of node list), is it safe to cache the pointers returned by getRemoteNode() (will they stick around during the application session)? Or should I cache node IDs and request new node pointers every time I need to push a message?
