Hi,

I'm running into a strange issue configuring activemq 5.17.6 to forward
messages from a satellite broker to a pair of brokers running in an
active/passive (failover) pair.  I'm hoping somebody here can help me

I have three brokers.  The first is running stand-alone, and is configured
with a one way network bridge to the other two, who are operating in an
active/passive (also known as master/slave) mode.
                        /----> Broker B. <---\
Producer -> Broker A ---+                    +---- Consumer
                        \----> Broker C <----/

This works fine, up until I try to test what happens when the redundant
pair is rebooted/goes down.

My test procedure is this:

   1. Start all brokers, and ensure that everything is connected
   2. Run the producer script multiple times to send persistent messages to
   a queue, seeing that messages are delivered to the consumer, and printed
   out.
   3. Shut down (via activemq stop cmd) the broker that the consumer is
   connected to (B)
   4. Observe that the consumer reconnects to the other broker (C), as does
   the satellite broker (A)
   5. Run the producer script again.
   6. Observe that one set of messages is delivered
   7. Run the producer script again - This time no messages are delivered.
   Messages are  accepted by Broker A, and it seems that it has forwarded them
   to broker C (The queue shows the same number of enqueued and dequeued
   messages in Broker A's console, as does the Network Connector), but no
   messages (apart from the first set) appear in Broker C's queue.
   8. Get consumer to fail back to the original server (B) by restarting B,
   then stopping C
   9. Any subsequent attempts to send messages fail.
   10. Restart Broker A
   11. Messages now flow, but any that were transmitted at step 7 have been
   lost


If I change the topology to remove Broker C and restart Broker B, messages
are appropriately queued, forwarded and delivered to the consumer once it
reconnects after the restart.  It behaves as expected.

The configuration for the brokers is the default example configuration,
except that Broker B and C use the same persistenceAdapter kahaDB directory
and broker A has a network Connector that looks like

<networkConnectors>
    <networkConnector name="laptop" uri="static:failover:(tcp://
100.127.41.128:61616,tcp://100.127.41.128:61617)" duplex="false"
staticBridge="true" userName="bruce" password="sekrit" networkTTL="10">
        <staticallyIncludedDestinations>
            <queue physicalName="TestQueue"/>
        </staticallyIncludedDestinations>
    </networkConnector>
</networkConnectors>


I have attached the configuration files for reference, along with the test
program I am using to send and receive.

What am I doing wrong?
