I'm trying to setup a WebLogic cluster environment with 2 nodes on the same box (testing purposes), and while we can get the loadbalancer setup and the app wokring in this cluster we have one problem with session ID's changing on session failover (when one node goes down, sessions associated with that node get taken over by the node still surviving, so people logged in don't even know the server they were on crashed). And we believe this problem is because we don't have multicast setup properly...

I don't really know anything about multicast so in the configuration of the cluster I left the default 237.0.0.1 address but changed the port to 7005 since the default 7001 was already used by the web server... Now, beyond that I did not do anything else, so do I have to setup something on windows to act as a multicast server or something under that ip address?
