Re: [sc-users] One client, multiple servers via Multicast?



Check out the NetLab quark -- there's a really helpful
NetAddr.broadcast method that lets you multicast to multiple clients.
I did this to send to multiple clients at once, but you can also send
straight to the servers.

I have some code that deals with the bookkeeping of which computers
you're sending to and how to resync them or reconnect them if they
crash -- contact me offlist if you'd like to take a look at it.
