Hi,

I am trying to find a way to have my grpc c++ client detect that a service has failed or changed location/IP.

For now I use DNS to resolve the service's IP (and my services will register themselves as they become available)

The default 5 minute IDLE_TIMEOUT is too long.

Is there any way to configure it or a TCP keep-alive via the c++ library?

Or is there a way to implement a resolver interface so I can detect changes quicker?

For now the only thing I can think of is to bring down and up the channel based on failed RPC counts but I was wondering if there is a better way.

Thanks,

Aryeh

Seems like what I really need is already discussed here: https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/1648
