Hi Andrew,

xmlBlaster is a MoM (message oriented middleware) like for example
MQSeries from IBM, for more information see

  http://www.xmlBlaster.org

We are developing cluster support, which shall allow distributed
xmlBlaster server instances over the intranet and internet.

The goal will be automatic discovery/lookup of xmlBlaster nodes.

The approach will cover multicast based discovery in the intranet
and port bound discovery over the internet.

The protocol for this port is not specified yet, it will
be used for 'bootstrapping' and for 'operational' data.

This allows us piercing firewalls with a well known port,
reducing the amount of administration.

Example:
If several air traffic control information systems distributed over
the globe (on airports) need to communicate in 'real time',
a well known port simplifies the task.

I hope this information is what you are looking after,

thanks,

Marcel

PS: I will send the mail to our mailing list as well.
