you will need to run version 3.0.x in order to have a unicast only setup. sorry.
with 3.0.x you will just setup your udp_send_channel to be
udp_send_channel {
host = <ip of the host running gmond>
port = 8666
}
and then set your udp_recv_channel to be
udp_recv_channel {
port = 8666
}
btw, you can use any port you like instead of 8666. with this setup you
will have the host simply sending data to itself and no one else.
you can also have a single host that collect data for an entire cluster
over unicast with no multicast messaging at all.
good luck
