The only difference is a difference in network distance: most current users use udpcast on a LAN (traffic needs to cross no routers), whereas you seem to plan a usage on a WAN. That is fine, the only difference is that in such case some tweaking with the mcast-addr and --mcast-all-addr settings might be needed to help the multicast traffic traverse the routers.

Having spent a great deal of time of enery of my own, my coworkers, and the nice folks at Cisco, I just wanted to post this to the archives that the statement "--mcast-all-addr settings *might* be needed" should really read "IS needed". Cisco routers, at the least, do not forward packets destined for 224.0.0.1, which is the default for udpcast. Changing this is required for clients to find one another. That point aside, thanks for the useful software and for bearing me out these 5 months ago. regards, Chris
