             Summary: Configurable membership bind address
                 Key: GEODE-8877
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-8877
             Project: Geode
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Alberto Bustamante Reyes


Geode binds the locator and server traffic port by default to 0.0.0.0, but the membership ports are bound to the local address.

There is a use case that needs this binding to be configurable ([link to the conversation in the dev list|http://markmail.org/thread/7dwtygtgfcitboy3]):

We would like to use Istio with Geode. For that, a sidecar container (Envoy) has to be added in each Geode pod. That sidecar container intercepts and handles all incoming and outgoing traffic for that pod. One of the requirements set by Istio towards applications trying to integrate with it is that the application listening ports need to be bound to either localhost or 0.0.0.0 address (which listens on all interfaces).
 

Geode binds the locator and server traffic port by default to 0.0.0.0, but the membership ports are bound to the pod IP.
 And with Envoy listening on the pod IP for incoming traffic and proxying everything towards localhost, applications binding to pod IPs won't receive any traffic.

 We have tried using the "bind-address" parameter, but that doesn't work for our case. Geode binds the listening ports to the configured address, but it also shares that same address to other members in the system as the address to be used to reach it. If we configure that address to localhost, it just won't work.
