> Allow a locator host to be taken off line and replaced with a different
> machine having the same host name
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GEODE-2804
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-2804
> Project: Geode
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: client/server, membership, native client
> Affects Versions: 1.1.1
> Reporter: Bruce Schuchardt
> Assignee: Hitesh Khamesra
>
> It is not unlikely that in a long-running system a machine hosting a locator
> will break down and need to be replace, or that a virtual machine hosting a
> locator will be stopped and restarted. In either case the machine may have a
> different IP address.
> Clients and servers currently cache the IP address of a locator and should be
> changed to re-resolve the host name if the address stops being usable.
> Servers currently cannot be started if they are given a host name that can
> not be resolved. They should be changed to allow this and start up if they
> are able to contact one or more of the other locators in their "locators"
> setting.
