.. 
i forget that sometimes the multicast problem can be caused by gmond 
network interface defaults.  if the frontend node is multi-homed (has two 
network interfaces).. gmond will listen/announce on the first 
multicast-enabled network interface.  if your cluster is on a private 
network multicasting on the second network interface, the frontend will 
not know about it.

the solution is simple.. explicitly state the network interface on the 
frontend box.. e.g...

in /etc/gmond.conf put the line

mcast_if eth1

for example, if eth1 is the interface connected to you private cluster.
