In our setup we are running multi-server JBM cluster hosting clustered queues. 
We have a client application that looks up ClusteredConnectionFactory from a 
server from this cluster (this is configured in the client application ) and 
then uses createConnection to create sessions across different servers in the 
cluster.

This setup works fine and our messaging load gets almost equally distributed 
amongst the servers in the cluster.

We currently have an issue with the server application that causes a JBOSS 
server to go down sometimes. Because of the cluster we still overall have a 
availability of the application with remaining servers, but we face issues with 
the client application if it has to create new connections.

Problems we face is that the
-- Though there are servers availabile in the cluster the client is not able to 
do JNDI Lookup of the ClusteredConnectionFactory if the server that has gone 
down is the one that is being used in the application for JNDI lookup.
We have considered implementing custom failover mechanism for lookup (to go 
around servers in the cluster until succeeded) as an option. 
We do want to explore other options if any available before taking this route.

-- Suppose we cache the looked up ClusteredConnectionFactory and never lookup 
again for the duration of the client applications life, will the object 
reference be valid for creating connections if the original server from where 
the lookup was made has gone down i.e. this ConnectionFactory is JMS cluster 
aware and hence can use other servers while creating connections on the client 
side?

Thanks
