      During intensive HA-JNDI failover testing (constantly running "new InitialContext().lookup(...)"
      while starting and stopping JBoss instances, sometimes an HA-JNDI lookup just before the server goes down is
      throwing an exception without trying to fail over to the other HA-JNDI instance:

      ...

      javax.naming.CommunicationException [Root exception is java.rmi.UnmarshalException: Error unmarshaling return header; nested exception is:

      ...

      Root cause is that java.rmi.UnmarshallException is not caught as an exception eligible for failover.
