What are the (dis)advantages of each mode? I would start simple and use the default settings (multicast), it is fairly easy to set up. Network administrators have mentioned that multicast is "chatty" and causes jitter. If the workload on your cluster is sensitive to that, you might consider switching to unicast. I am sure Google and the mail archives is a great source of knowledge regarding these. I just added this to the FAQs -- hope this helps.
