WCF Discovery: Find dynamic endpoint in different subnet

I'm using dynamic endpoints to find WCF services. So far this works great. However, when the services are in a different subnet, they cannot be found anymore.

I do know the address of the server, but I don't know the port and the precise service name.

Is there a way to use Discovery to find the services?

Solution

  • I believe you need to look at using Managed Discovery as ad-hoc discovery relies on UDP multicast, which won't be routed across subnets:
