to get said, what i want to do i want to write a gateway or something else, which can route a call to ES to the configured/called ES-Cluster - an app should connect itself to this ressource (like the Transportclient) - these ressource should route request to an ES-Cluster it will be pleased about an answer ---

If the node one of the transport clients is talking to dies, however, it won't be able to communicate with the cluster. A better strategy might be to start a node client in each cluster. They would need to know about at least a node or two in order to join (unless you're able to do multicast), but they would be better at handling failures. -Drew ---
