That's one of the problems with using static discovery and not multicast discovery for the brokers.
When you use static discovery with the failover option, the broker sees a transport to the remote side that never fails even when the remote broker has died. Messages sent over the failover transport will block until the remote broker is back online. This blocked network bridge is the same as having a slow consumer ( for more info see: http://www.activemq.org/Slow+Consumer+Handling ). In your case it would actually be good if the network bridge saw the transport fail. It would then kill the bridge and and you would not have the slow consumer situation. This can easily be done by disabling the failover feature. The problem is since your not using multicast discovery, there is event generated to let us know when the remote broker is back online. Perhaps we should enhance the static: discovery agent to do a periodic checks to see if a failed broker is back online. Once it's back online, then it would generate an event letting the network connector know that it's online again. Anybody fancy taking a stab at implementing this?
