All, I am facing a very confusing issue between two systems, and i came to a conclusion that may be someone could confirm (or not). I am running Akka 2.5.3 in Java, the context is a CI build running integration tests. I have 2 systems: A (=QA system) and B (=CI system). B knows A through dns and B uses IP address for identification. The flow is : A is started, then B tries to resolve an actor through ActorSelection to A. When A and B are running on the same host, all runs fine. The issue is when A and B are on different hosts. A is behind a firewall with only the relevant port opened. I am not 100% sure of the firewall settings on host B. On the first run, all is fine and ActorSelection returns the ActorRef, but on the second run ActorSelection fails in timeout and I get the below exception on host A, while no other exception is visible in host B.
What I am thinking is that when B is restarted, A considers it as a "reconnection" differently then during first run "connection" and might follow different path. Even if the System internal Id is different. In this "reconnection" use case, it looks like there might be a connection attempt A -> B while in the first "connection" only B -> A happens. This would explain why when running on the same host all runs fine. If my thinking is correct, then i would have to investigate the firewall rules on host B, which is beyond my control and i would need this confirmation before going further.
