Hello Gordon,

With what you are proposing, the order of the configuration becomes critical 
because if the public listener is configured before the connectors and 
autolinks, I would have the same issue with the producer/consumer. So my 
management process would have to send the management commands in a predefined 
order.


In the case of the 2-phase start, the order of configuration is irrelevant and 
the management is thus easier.


Regards,

Adel

You could do something similar already by defining a specific listener
for management only in the static config, and then only define the
'public' listener for real clients once any other configuration has been
done.
