The title here is probably more of a potential solution then the underlying problem.
In a lot of my tests I need to ensure that nodes discover and connect to each other. But when local cluster the primary node connects to the other nodes and creates a full mesh between all of the existing nodes. I'm not even sure if what I want to do is possible but I'm wondering if there's a programatic way to start the main node as a hidden node or something similar so that the cluster behaves as though the main node isn't truly a part of the cluster. I know that you can pass an erl flag to set a node as hidden but I'm not sure if you can do that once the node is already booted.
I might be going in a totally wrong direction here (and if so please tell me so) but I wanted to get your thoughts on it.
