Could you point me to the ZK subclass that provides this functionality? I may or may not be able to use it without tearing things apart too much as I am using ZK through Curator. > Perhaps an easier way would be to simulate Server failure - e.g. start a quroum of 3 servers, Have your client connect, then shutdown the server that the client connected to. The client will be disconnected and reconnect to one of the remaining 2 servers. The 3-server quorom approach seems like the way to go for us, as we can easily set up a ZK cluster for testing (thanks again to curator-test). I'll give that a try. Thanks for the quick response, -Julio
