hi!

It seems that they are not able to communicate with each other.

The recommended way for multi node cluster is using our [helm charts](https://github.com/weaviate/weaviate-helm)

By the way, why 1.26.1?

We suggest always running the [latest versions](https://hub.docker.com/r/semitechnologies/weaviate/tags) or at least, in your case. 1.26.latest (as I write, 1.26.17)

Let me know if that helps!

Thanks!
