Node connected to himself

Hi,

In my cluster I have 4 nodes.
In elasticsearch.yml I use unicast.hosts with my 4 nodes specified.

When I execute lsof, I see that every node is connected to himself.

[nodeA] $ lsof -i|grep -- '->nodeA' |grep java

Is it usual ?
Should I remove the local node in the unicast.hosts configuration ?

Cheers
Romain
