Hello All,
I actually sent this yesterday, but never saw it show up in the archive or
in my inbox so trying again. Sorry if y'all are getting this twice.
I'm having a problem setting up clustering in Tomcat 6.0 on RedHat ES 4.
I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I'm using a very vanilla
multicast clustering implementation. The problem is that the 2 machines I
want to cluster are on different subnets with 4 hops between them. Because
of this I need to up the Membership multicast ttl. Unfortunately for some
reason it doesn't appear that setting the ttl is having any effect for me.
I have verified that I can change the multicast address, port, and
frequency and those settings seem to work. It is only the ttl that
doesn't seem to change. (I've reverted all of those changes back to
default now).
Here is my clustering set up from server.xml
<Cluster className="org.apache.catalina.ha.tcp.SimpleTcpCluster"
channelSendOptions="8">
<Manager className="org.apache.catalina.ha.session.DeltaManager"
expireSessionsOnShutdown="false"
notifyListenersOnReplication="true"/>
<Channel
className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.GroupChannel">
<Membership
className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.membership.McastService"
address="228.0.0.4"
port="45564"
ttl="15"
frequency="500"
dropTime="3000"/>
<Sender
className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.transport.ReplicationTransmitter">
<Transport
className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.transport.nio.PooledParallelSender"/>
</Sender>
<Receiver
className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.transport.nio.NioReceiver"
address="auto"
port="4000"
autoBind="100"
selectorTimeout="5000"
maxThreads="6"/>
<Interceptor
className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.interceptors.TcpFailureDetector"/>
<Interceptor
className="org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.interceptors.MessageDispatch15Interceptor"/>
</Channel>
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.ha.tcp.ReplicationValve"
filter=""/>
<Valve
className="org.apache.catalina.ha.session.JvmRouteBinderValve"/>
<ClusterListener
className="org.apache.catalina.ha.session.JvmRouteSessionIDBinderListener"/>
<ClusterListener
className="org.apache.catalina.ha.session.ClusterSessionListener"/>
</Cluster>
As you can see I've changed the Membership ttl to 15. However, when I
start up apache and run a tcpdump it appears that the TTL is still set to
1. Our network admins have also verified from their end that it appears
the ttl on the multicast traffic is 1.

Does anybody have any ideas on why this is?
Thanks in advance
