Alex, Thank you for the help. This got me pointed in the right direction. Although there are still some things I don't understand, it is working now.
I downloaded the zookeeper release archive from their website. I then ran the zkCli script on each of my servers and attempted to connect on the default port of 2181. This was successful on the "Service" computer. It failed on the "Consumer" computer. I then ran "sudo netstat -anp | grep LISTEN | grep java" to see what ports java was even listing on. Port 2181 is not one of them. So I can say with confidence that the zookeeper server is not running on the "Consumer" computer. I ran the netstat on the "Service" computer and I see 2181 in the list. When I stop the "Aries Remote Service Admin Discovery Zookeeper" bundle in servicemix, the zookeeper server stops. When I start that bundle, the zookeeper server starts. So it looks like that bundle is actually launching the zookeeper server. I verified that bundle is started on the "Consumer" computer and it is. I can start and stop that bundle all I want but zookeeper never successfully starts. This is the part I don't understand. Regardless, I did what you said and filled out <service_mix_dir>/etc/org.apache.aries.rsa.discovery.zookeeper.cfg with the host and port for my "Service" computer. So both computers are sharing the same one zookeeper instance. With that change, the echo example works correctly. So the problem was down to the fact that zookeeper was not running on one computer. I still don't know why it was not running, but I was able to work around it. I suppose in the long run I will want to run one instance of zookeeper per computer, regardless of how many servicemix instances I am running on that computer. With that in mind, I probably wont' ever take the time to figure out why zookeeper was not running in servicemix on that computer.

To that end, I have downloaded Apache Karaf 4.1.2 and run through the Echo TCP example from the Aries-RSA github page. Here is a link. https://github.com/apache/aries-rsa/tree/master/examples/echotcp The example ran successfully when running two karaf instances on my single computer. I then ran one karaf instance on another networked computer. The two computers are connected via a LAN that allows all manner of network communication including multicast. When running the "Service" on one computer and the "Consumer" on the other computer, the example does not work. The Consumer bundle stays in a Waiting state. When I run rsa:endpoints on the "Service" computer, I see that the EchoService is correctly bound to a local IP address. When I run rsa:endpoints on the "Consumer" computer, it shows no services. The issue appears to be that the karaf instance on the "Consumer" computer has not found the "Service" endpoint on the other computer. Both computers have multiple NICs and multiple active network connections. Only one connection allows them to talk to each other. It just so happens that the "Service" endpoint is using the right address. I suspect that the "Consumer" karaf instance is not so lucky and is using the wrong NIC. So my question is how can I configure this? I believe this might be a Zookeeper question but I am not clear on how to configure the zookeeper instance that Aries-RSA launches. I appreciate the help.
