      Set up an AWS ECS cluster with dynamic port mapping and service discovery. Run the latest jboss/keycloak container and allow the clustering port (7600) to be dynamically mapped. Turn on DEBUG logging. Watch the mayhem.

      When running an ECS cluster with jboss/keycloak:latest containers dynamic port mapping of all ports is required to allow more than one container to run per EC2 instance. Using SRV based service discovery records will allow each node to find the rest of the nodes, but when a discovery request is sent the receiving node sees the sender as IP:7600 instead of the dynamic port. It then sees this as a "new" node and tries to send discovery requests to it. And somehow it is also getting node IDs and trying to send requests to those!

      See the following log, there are only 4 actual nodes and the each have a different 5 digit port number:

      This code seems to be part of the problem in this case: https://github.com/belaban/JGroups/blob/87d15ec848aa3d482ae792ef152f7e36e1ab625c/src/org/jgroups/protocols/dns/DNS_PING.java#L109

      See that code uses the incoming address and adds it to the discocvered_hosts, but those addresses are ALWAYS inaccurate in this case.

      Because this is what the recipient of the service discovery request sees (ie: all the ports are the default 7600):

      In this state the cluster never seems to work properly and the Keycloak interface breaks in many frustrating ways.
