the rsync method is much more likely to work out of the box w/o any tuning.
i'd be surprised to see a majority of installations where the multicast
settings we have today works out of the box - it doesn't in my test network
here, for example.  getting to that point will take some iterating.

i always thought of oscar as trading off performance for ease of setup & use.
if that's the case, then i think rsync should remain the default for now.
