If that's all it is, we could certainly put that checkbox in the wizard. So how does it work? Each node comes up and waits until the next send interval or something like that? Should we be doing anything else on the OSCAR end to better enable this?

Also,

The unicast install (rsync) can be the "default", and a little checkbox
could be added that says "use multicast".  The only difference would be
the setting in dhcpd.conf (option option-143 "9000";

This entry could always be installed commented out, and have the docs
tell the user to uncomment it to enable multicast.
