a question about multiple addresses

[mathgl]

Hi all

I noticed the ice support mulitple addresses for proxy like:

ic.stringToProxy("Servicename:tcp -h host1 -p p1 -h host2 -p p2")


and communicator may randomly choose one of the addresses. I want to know what happen if one of the nodes is down (assume there are two nodes and one of them is normal and another one is malfunction). Does communicator pick up another one automatically? or I need to do it manually.

Thanks

Have a look at Automatic Retries - Ice 3.4 - ZeroC and Connection Establishment - Ice 3.4 - ZeroC. This explains when and how the Ice runtime will try multiple endpoints.
