I am experiencing a slow failover when simulating a network failure. My setup 
consists of the following: Two servers, each with an instance of JBoss and 
MySQL running on them. I will refer to the servers as a "primary" and "backup". 
Both the primary and backup have their DataSources set to point to the MySQL 
instance running on the primary server. They are HA DataSources, so they also 
point to the backup server. I simulate a network failure by unplugging the 
primary from a network hub. Then the following happens:
1) The backup server/node detects the failure.
2) Several minutes go by after the cluster failure, and then our app is 
deployed.

After playing with Log4j settings and some more testing, I have narrowed the 
issue down to a set of failures:

Since the DataSouce connection pool size is set to a minimum of three, it seems 
that a database connection is not considered dead until all thread pool 
connections are timed out. The timeouts take a little over two minutes to 
complete, and if the minimum thread pool size was larger, the failover time 
would be protracted even more. Is there any way to reduce the duration of the 
timeouts and/or speed up this process?
