Thank you.  This leaves me puzzled about more things, though:

1. You seem to be saying that the log messages I see labelled
   "openais" are not actually from ais, but from some piece of
   the cman servce (ccsd?).  So, where is aisexec logging to?

2. Like I said, I *do* see multicast traffic on the address I
   configured in openais.conf, and I do see aisexec bound to
   that IP.  I do not see anything attempting to use this hash-derived
   default address.  When you say "a cman cluster will always have ..."
   do you mean that the cluster will use *both* multicast addresses?

In my case, the cluster is failing, which is why I'm looking into
what openais is doing, so the fact that I don't see anything using
the 239.192 address doesn't mean nothing would be using it if cluster
startup were successful.  However, there's no actual "cman" entity
anymore in CentOS/RHEL 5, and my ccsd is running.
