Fixed In Version: matahari-0.4.4-1.el6
Doc Type: Rebase: Bug Fixes and Enhancements
Doc Text:
Cause: When specifying a broker to connect to, one could only specify a hostname or IP address. Consequence: Providing a list of brokers to connect to that can be updated dynamically was not possible. Change: Mataari now supports querying for DNS SRV records to determine the broker, or list of brokers to attempt to connect to. Result: Administrators can now use DNS SRV to control where Matahari agents connect to.

Description Russell Bryant 2011-09-02 15:26:16 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #735417 +++

Description of problem:

The current DNS SRV support in Matahari agents only works as expected if there is only a single DNS SRV record.  They do not support connection attempts to more than one.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

0.4.3
