[rabbitmq-discuss] Mnesia connection error in a clustered node on a multi NIC PC

[davidib]

Hey Emile,

Now it makes ALOT more sense!  I thought I had taken care of this
issue via explicitly opening port 4369.  Didn't realize that the epmd
port was randomly assigned.  Looks like I can avoid the dynamic nature
of the port assignment by using the ERL_EPMD_PORT environment
variable!

Thanks again
David
