gmond by design is able to work without a configuration for exactly this reason. the default TTL for multicast packets is "1" and the default multicast address should work independently on each VLAN as far as the clusters are segmented by network (a usual setup in HPC), and your switches are configured to handle multicast correctly and have no bugs. > Is anyone already working on any aspect of this issue: as others had pointed, this is better handled by a configuration management utility, specially if you are stuck with that OS that needs cygwin and that wouldn't do multicast (from their release notes the beta version of cygwin 1.7 will be able to do multicast correctly in Vista/2008, but haven't really tested it) Carlo ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Ganglia-developers mailing list Ganglia-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ganglia-developers
