I have always wondered how exactly the connections between the clients and Cache Servers work under the covers.
I believe I have heard that there are 2 connections minimum between a CacheServer and a client, one for get/put, etc request/reply type traffic and a separate one for subscription type traffic. If that is true my next question is, do both of those connections get initiated from the client side? Last question, are the hostnames given to the client by the locator in the form of 192.168.1.1 TCP/IP numerical addresses or are they host names? In the particular case of a big compute grid with thousands of nodes it would be better if we gave them our numerical addresses to avoid 1000 simultaneous DNS lookups. Can that be arranged? -- Mike Stolz Principal Technical Account Manager Mobile: 631-835-4771
