Neil, I don't understand the distinction you're trying to make. The policy server calls the hostsseen() function and then has files promise to fetch two files, fluctuations.nov and mean_field.nov, from every host in the slist returned from hostsseen using the remote_cp copy_from body. This is done by cf-agent on the policy server contacting the remote cf-serverd. The default timeout for the agent, according to the reference manual, is 10 seconds but this seemed to take much longer to time out. I'll see if I can gather some metrics on it. Maybe that will shed light on the issue.

Justin, Does the Nova server really attempt to contact the remote client or is it another case of an agent on the server contacting a cf-serverd process on the client? If so perhaps reducing the agent timeout would help you.
