Pretty much right.  I normally broadcast on 192.168.x.255 or whatever
the broadcast address of the LAN I'm on is, but loopback works fine. 
Point-to-point works as well which we use to jump from subnet to subnet
in work (not tested a cross-lan master-slave configuration but it should
work fine if the networks aren't full of packets).

Cheers
Phil
