Session Replication doesn't work when using a custom Unicast Channel

Question

Hello!
After configure a WLS Cluster for an WebApp with session replication support enabled I faced some issues with cluster configuration.
My LAB env used for this configurations is:
One Solaris 10 SPARC box.
-- One WLS 11g (10.3.6) domain with:
---- 4 Managed servers:
---- Admin server
---- server-1
---- server-2
---- Proxy Server (HttpClusterServlet)
--- 1 Cluster composed by:
---- server-1
---- server-2In that setup I noticed if I define a custom network channel for servers ( server>protocols>channels ) in the cluster and set Cluster Messaging Mode as Unicast* in the Cluster config ( Cluster>Configuration>Messaging>Messaging Mode ), so the session state replication does not work.
When I enable the cluster replication debug for managed servers the following messages appears:

At the end of the day I really would like to understand why the session replication only works for Cluster's Messaging using Multicast mode. I read a lot the WLS docs (specifically the cluster/network topics) [1][2], but I can't find an official explanation about this.
Can someone help me understand this behavior?
Many thanks.

I have Fluxbox started with Slim and .xinitrc. Dbus works only with:
exec ck-launch-session startfluxbox
you need run Openbox with ck-launch-session:
exec ck-launch-session openbox-session
Bye!!
