So I might have just put the pieces together just about the same time I got 
this:

1) I did update the multicast address
2) Set the data_source in gmetad.conf to two nodes in each cluster/grid.

That seemed to do it.  I was stuck b/c I tried one or the other but not both :-)

Cheers,
Ryan

Ryan,

My understanding is:

1. You separate (multicast) clusters by using different ports. You also
use individual data_source lines in your gmetad.conf

2. You separate grids by using different gmetad's.

The second one might be wrong, but it is how I do things. The first one
is what I think you are looking for (Grid vs Cluster == confusing at first).

Cheers,
Ian
