ActiveMQ - failing over to another server

[rholt <ri...@btopenworld.com>]

Hi, please can anyone help with this issue it is causing us a lot of issues

Apache Active MQ 5.4.1 - running on 2 servers on 2 different subnets from
now on i will call them Test AMQ and Live AMQ

At some points we see errors occur on the Test AMQ server and shortly after
we see errors on the Live AMQ with Ack issues. Also the consumer counts on
the Live increase as our clients switch connectivity over to Live AMQ.

The clients connecting to these test systems have no knowledge of the other
and use a static TCP/IP connection BrokerURL to their appropriate AMQ. They
do use the failover transport but with a single address to cause a retry
loop.

I have attached the activemq.xml for both servers. And the logs for the test
system. Unfortunately on Live i only have a snippet of a log (attached). 

thanks in advance

Thank you - that explains the warning message I see when using a similar
setup here.
FWIW I agree, the name should not be used on reconnect.

in case anyone ever has issues like this i will post the issue found again as
a new problem.

essentially when a connecting system connects with failover:(tcp:IP:PORT)
then things are fine. however when it reconnects with the failover it
connects to failover:(tcp:NAME:PORT).

And due to a DNS problem this meant the server "switched" who it was looking
at

the DNS issue is now fixed however i don't understand why when given an IP
the connection should ever use the name

Live
failover:(tcp://172.16.6.195:61619)
