8.3.1 Specifying the connection-target EADS server, the IP address or host name, and the port number
The first time the EADS client connects to an EADS server, it selects randomly a connection target from among the EADS servers specified in the eads.client.connect.servers parameter in the client properties (for subsequent connections, the EADS client selects a connection target based on the cluster information acquired from the first EADS server).
If multiple EADS servers are specified in the client properties and no connection can be established with a certain EADS server, the EADS client can try to connect to another EADS server.
For details about the mechanism of communication processing, see 2.2 Mechanisms of EADS communication processing.
