Hi Timo & everyone,

I'm trying out a 2-node director setup, but I keep getting the following error:

Oct 3 16:11:29 imapdir1 dovecot: master: Dovecot v2.0.15 starting up (core dumps disabled) Oct 3 16:11:34 imapdir1 dovecot: director: Error: connect(132.198.100.150:9090) failed: Invalid argument Oct 3 16:11:41 imapdir1 last message repeated 3 times

Both nodes report this error. The director on each node is listening on port 9090 just fine:

[root@imapdir1 ~]# nc imapdir2 9090 VERSION director 1 0 ME 127.0.0.1 9090

[root@imapdir2 ~]# nc imapdir1 9090 VERSION director 1 0 ME 127.0.0.1 9090

"doveadm director ring status" always reports failure of the peer:

[root@imapdir1 ~]# doveadm director ring status director ip port type last failed
127.0.0.1 9090 self never
132.198.100.150 9090 2011-10-04 13:28:55

[root@imapdir2 ~]# doveadm director ring status director ip port type last failed
127.0.0.1 9090 self never
132.198.100.149 9090 2011-10-04 13:24:08

Has anyone else seen this?

FWIW, a single-node director works fine, proxying IMAP, LMTP and POP.

I'm guessing I have a broken config, but if I do I can't figure it out. Hope I'm not missing something *too* obvious...

Here's doveconf -n from imapdir1:
