hmm, although the already connected servers receive all changes a second
time.

yes, that part is definitely not built for end points joining the
connection after the first write. Looking at the code a bit it seems to
me that most of the code from initialize could move to
GroupMCastConnection::connectPoint(). To be honest I don't quite
understand "ack" handling either at this point, but mostly I'm wondering
if it ever was used with ackNum != 1? I'm somewhat tempted to assume
ackNum == 1 and just drop the other code paths. It may take me a couple
of days before I can get around to trying this - in case you want to
give it another try.
How dynamic do you expect the server connect/disconnect to be for your
application? Would it be easier to create a new GroupConnection and
RemoteAspect when the number of servers changes?
Can you give is some background information on your application?
Cheers,
Carsten
