Affan Dar commented on PROTON-160:
----------------------------------
I think the assumption behind option (1) was that adding a connection level
setting (such as an alias) may not be appropriate for the level that the
messenger API is operating it. Seems like that is not a big issue which is
great. Connection aliasing is a good solution and will work for all scenarios
(reconnect, redirect etc). It will also make the receive side more symmetric
with the send side which is goodness.

> Key: PROTON-160
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-160
> Project: Qpid Proton
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: proton-c
> Affects Versions: 0.1, 0.2
> Reporter: David Ingham
>
> In a scaled-out, multi-tenant broker environment, the host on which the
> container is running is often different from the host to which a client is
> establishing the tcp connection. The 'hostname' field in the connection open
> performative was added to support this scenario. Currently there's no way to
> control this from the Messenger API.
> Options include:
> (1) (preferred) add a new 'networkhost' field to Message to allow the network
> address to be specified. If provided, this information would be used when
> establishing the network connection and the data in the 'address' field would
> be used in the connection open hostname field. This is somewhat in line with
> the way that connection redirect (amqp:connection:redirect) is specified.
> (2) extend the syntax of address with query string to supply hostname, e.g.,
> username:password@tcpaddress:tcpport/entityname?hostname=foo where 'foo'
> would become the hostname used in the connection open frame. This is the
> approach used by the current Qpid AMQP 1.0 JMS client.
