They subscribe to the same multicast group, your multicast routers would forward the packets, and as long as the TTLs are high enough, they would reach the other side. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ip+multicast+routing Since you said you have two "clusters", maybe you should just set up unicast TCP connectors and use those. Unless you have a bunch of machines in each group, or they're very dynamic and changing, maybe discovery isn't even the ideal setup. -- Christopher G. Stach II
