<title>Validator node selection</title>
<link>https://www.multichain.com/qa/11659/validator-node-selection</link>
<description>Hi there, let's say I have 5 nodes in the same blockchain/network.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4 of them can mine, one can't (the regular node)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, for availability sake I'm hosting the regular node and 1 of those validator nodes in the same datacenter, and the other 2 in another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My RPC connection is made with the regular node for security purposes, so when I send a signedTransaction to the regular node it needs to relay it to a miner node.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is there any way that I can 'force' or 'select' the node which will be doing the mining? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My concern is that if the regular node relays the transaction to a different datacenter additional latency may occur.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks in advance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
