Okay, so it looks like the issue does not have anything to do with
network distance/latency.

Instead of running gmetad on multiple ports of one server, have you
tried running gmetad on the cluster headnodes and then have them
aggregate the data to the current gmetad server?  You can do this by
having a data_source entry like the following:

# data_source "my grid" 50 grid.org:8651

Where grid.org:8651 refers to gmetad running on the headnode of one of
your cluster.

(This is what I refer to as federation)

Cheers,

Bernard
