I second Martin's request. This has been an ongoing issue so we ought to simply change the default to e.g. 30 seconds or so. We can put in a comment in the config file that if you are in multicast environment you may want to set this to 0.
What's the downside of setting it != 0 ? A bit more network traffic ? Anyways I think we should shoot for sensible defaults that work for most people.
