if you cannot increase the mcast_ttl and pass multicast over a router,
then you will need to use gmetad.

all you need to do is at the remote gmond at as a data source in the
gmetad configuration (/etc/gmetad.conf) and gmetad will poll the data
from the remote gmond via TCP (unicast).  this negates the need to
multicast altogether.

let me know if this doesn't solve the problem.
