I am using ehcache for short term caching of objects. This all worked very well until I implemented a single node cluster on Weblogic 8.1/1.4.2 JDK and adjusted the ehcache configuration to work on a distributed environment. Many searches have offered nothing for the particular error that I am getting - thus troubleshooting has been a bit of a hurdle. Below is the relevant portion of the stack and the bulk of my ehcache.xml file. Also, worth noting is this failure occurs using both ehcache 1.2.3 and 1.5.0. Any insight or suggestions welcome.

Using multicast address of 230.0.0.1 on port 40001. WLS cluster does NOT use the same multicast address and port (though I did try it...)
Doesn't seem to matter as the port in the error on the stack changes every time I deploy and
test (i.e. 3344 as above).
Again, any help is welcome here - really do not want to have to implement a different cache - of course, I am open to suggestions right about now.
Thanks a bunch!
Jacques
