Not sure about your architecture. May be you have good reasons for that but running more than one node per machine is not what I'd recommend. But here, may be they are "client only nodes"?
Specifying port range is OK. When your node starts, it tries to ping b001:9300, then b001:9301, … One node should at least answer otherwise, current node will think it's alone and will set itself as master. Once the cluster state is get from master node to the current node, current node knows exactly which nodes forms the cluster and on which port for each node. So, when pinging, only the right port is pinged. If the expected node does not answer to ping request, it will be considered as leaving the cluster. Makes sense? -- David Pilato | Technical Advocate | Elasticsearch.com @dadoonet | @elasticsearchfr Le 14 février 2014 à 08:51:47, Robin Verlangen (ro...@us2.nl) a écrit: Hi David, Ok, I think the latter (the port range) is the actual issue. Would you be able to think with me on a possible solution? We run 3 ES applications per node, each with 2-4 ES clients. Would it then be best to specify b001.my-cluster.com[9300-9312],b002.my-cluster.com[9300-9312] et cetera?

Modify elasticsearch.yml file and set the "right" port for this node.
