[ha-clusters-discuss] Cluster 3.2 SUNW.LogicalHostname deprecated? bug?

[Detlef Ulherr]

As you see from the answers in the forum, there is a a good reason to
design it that way.

I would ask the firewall administrators to open the port on more
addresses, before I would go the rout of changing the flags and
manipulating the routing table with cluster agents.

If you want to have it changed, there is always the possibility to
propose a change of the SUNW.Logical host and the Shared Address to make
this behaviour configurable.

Kind Regards
