Hi this is the first time I am posting news. 

I have a network of Apollo nodes which is part of a WAN.
The master registry is in a remote location. There are 
slave registries running in the local net. However,
when the WAN link is down, certain nodes report can't find
registry error and resort to local registry. 

Did anybody know why is this so? I thought the glbd would
be smart enough to pick up the local slave registry daemon
that is available. 

Does the glbd always choose the local rgyd server before the
remote server?

Thanks in advance.
