I'm trying to think through the security implications of this configuration: a single cloud server (Digital Ocean) with 2 Tomcat 8.5 instances in a cluster, for session replication.

I can bind the Receiver element to 127.0.0.1, which I think should protect the actual session data from prying eyes. Is that accurate?

The multicast-based Membership element seems to be more of a risk. I really like the convenience of the mutlicast setup, but is that a security risk? Should I go with static membership instead?

I found this discussion of static membership,but it is a bit old. Does anyone know of a more recent doc? https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2009794

Are there other security considerations that I'm not thinking of?
