We use system properties that allow client environments to override the URL used to connect to in the RMI/HTTP transport for this issue.
What is the detection notification you are talking about here? I have not looked at the remoting code much so describe the network traffic. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Scott Stark Chief Technology Officer JBoss Group, LLC xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeff Haynie Sent: Monday, January 05, 2004 2:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [JBoss-dev] Remoting and NAT traversal, advanced network We have a customer that needs to use JBoss Remoting / JMX Remoting in a fairly complex, although not unusual, network configuration. Right now, we don't well support dynamic / NAT traversals for remoting either in detection or transport. We basically send the local machines address (which bind address is configurable) as part of the detection notification to the remote machine. This works fine on a local subnet. In the case of a remote subnet, you can use the JNDI detection which will bind the entry into a remote (or local) JNDI context which can then be browsed by any network that can reach the JNDI server. In cases where NAT is being used (or potentially even DHCP, although slightly different), we need to be able to send the detection annotated with additional network interfaces, such as the public IP or hostname. Ideally, this could be a simple configuration that we would read / lookup (maybe as simple as a system property) and the Identity could be modified to include additional addresses (similar to InetAddress when you have multiple NICs locally). Then, the remote machine transport could then try the primary address and then secondary addresses if the primarily failed. In addition, I wrote a SSHConnector that uses SSH tunneling (totally dynamic, not setup except giving it the credentials) on both sides to do SSH transport - I need to get this into remoting soon. This is an additional option, but not as flexible and slower. Does anyone have any good ideas, suggestions, criticisms on this topic? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
