Remote connections to Infinispan server - and work with JGroups

My setup is an infinispan 8.1.2 server running on AWS using a distributed cache. For local development, I would like to be able to connect to the instance on AWS, but the server will only start using either 0.0.0.0 or the AWS private IP address. Since JGroups does not work with the 0.0.0.0 address it seems my only option would be to use the AWS private IP. But this address is not accessible remotely!

Has anyone else run infinispan server and tried to connect from a different subnet?

Not sure if this helps but anyway... You do have a public IP address on AWS, which you can query with some HTTP command (check the docs).

Now, if you can add a NATting rule which forwards traffic between the private and public address, you could use external_addr and external_port in TCP to bind to the private address, but send traffic to the public address.

This would allow you to access a JGroups node from another subnet, or even the internet. You probably have to modify your security policy and expose the externally accessible ports. YMMV
