superfc commented on CASSANDRA-2491: ------------------------------------ I think a lot of people are interested in having this feature. If you could apply this patch to the cassandra trunk that would be great! > A new config parameter, broadcast_address > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-2491 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2491 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core > Environment: x86_64 GNU/Linux > Reporter: Khee Chin > Priority: Trivial > Labels: patch > Attachments: 2491_broadcast_address.patch > > Original Estimate: 336h > Remaining Estimate: 336h > > A new config parameter, broadcast_address > In a cluster setup where one or more nodes is behind a firewall and has a > private ip address, listen_address does not allow the hosts behind the > firewalls to be discovered by other nodes. > Attached is a patch that introduces a new config parameter broadcast_address > which allows Cassandra nodes to explicitly specify their external ip address. > In addition, this allows listen_address to be set to 0.0.0.0 on the already > firewalled node. > broadcast_address fallsback to listen_address when it is not stated. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
