We have to think very generically. There may be a scenario where the broker machine may be on an network segment where it cannot ping/reach the X2Go Servers. The X2Go Clients can reach the X2Go Broker. The broker provides an X2Go Server address on the "selectsession" broker task to the X2Go Client. Then the X2Go Client should test if that X2Go Server address works (via a simple ping6/ping command, machines should always be pingable!!!). If the ping fails, X2Go Client should go back to the broker and say: hey, that server failed for me, give me another one (but not the one you already gave me). I fear we need to do four things for this bug to get fixed: 1. extend broker/client communication protocol (second/third/... selectsession call with a list of hosts that did not work on previous attempts) 2. extend X2Go Session Broker with an exclude-hosts (or so) parameter for the selectsession task 3. Adapt X2Go Client: ping X2Go Server, go back to the broker if server is down and request another server 4.
