I did try setting up Multicast as mentioned in this post : http://www.nabble.com/broker-discovery-client-help-tf1651573.html#a4474136
but the brokers just sat there and the producer did not send any messages at all ! Broker X: <transportConnector uri="tcp://localhost:61616" discoveryUri="multicast://foo"/> and network connector is: <networkConnector uri="multicast://foo"> Broker Y: Broker X: <transportConnector uri="tcp://localhost:61617" discoveryUri="multicast://foo"/> and network connector is: <networkConnector uri="multicast://foo"> The producer used the uri : discovery:multicast://foo It didnt work. Anything wrong in the config ?
