Hi,

Sometimes (quite often) I am getting following exception during server startup while trying to deploy application:

18:09:26,618 WARNING [org.jgroups.protocols.TCP] (FD_SOCK pinger,hibernate,ip-10-238-61-210/hibernate) logical address cache didn't contain all physical address, sending up a discovery request

Sometimes after few restarts it goes away and server starts normally, sometimes i need to stop all nodes, cleanup table JGROUPSPING (using for discovery) and start again.

Can anyone tell me how to avoid the issue.
