in case anyone ever has issues like this i will post the issue found again as a new problem.
essentially when a connecting system connects with failover:(tcp:IP:PORT) then things are fine. however when it reconnects with the failover it connects to failover:(tcp:NAME:PORT). And due to a DNS problem this meant the server "switched" who it was looking at the DNS issue is now fixed however i don't understand why when given an IP the connection should ever use the name -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/ActiveMQ-failing-over-to-another-server-tp3234055p3248463.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
