Mailing List Archive: [mod_backhand-users] Servers Can't See Each Other

Greetings,

First, I'd like to thank Sean Chittenden for pointing out my stupidity in
missing the ServerRoot definition.

I've got mod_backhand running on all three servers, but they're not seeing
each other.

Their IPs are 63.105.6.24, 25, 26. The primary is .24. I'd like to hand
off to the other two servers by hostname rather than proxy for them, but
for some reason they're not seeing each other.

The servers are RedHat 7.0 & 7.1 with real (read: I compiled them from the
source) Apache installations. If anybody can give me a clue on this,
please send some info my way. Thanks!

Just to include on the list what happened off list:

MulticastStats x.y.z.255:4445,1 (uses IP multicast because the ,1 [TTL] is
specified)
So, x.y.z.255 MUST be a valid multicast address.

MulticastStats x.y.z.255:4445 (uses normal UDP packets to [hopefully] a
broadcast address)
So, in order for things to work correctly with that configuration, x.y.z.255
must be a valid broadcast address.

Of course, the multicast doesn't have to end with 255. and the broadcast
address doesn't have to end with 255 if you network is not a /24.
