Multicast quesy
I have a query about using / setting up multicast/broadcast on solaris. Our
developers use a Naming service as part of our product. Currently they are
experiencing problems on a couple of the servers but not all.
One server is set up as a Naming server, 4 clients, 2 working and 2 not, use
this server to obtain ips over dhcp. the 2 server that are not working respond
very slowly, 14 seconds compared to 1 on those that work.
Can anyone explain how the client talks to the naming server. Using snoop I can
see the client sending out a multicast request looking for the naming server,
but I'm not sure what else I should be looking for in order to troubleshoot
this. Also are there any settings that should be set.
netstat -rn yields:
[root at ned]# netstat -rn
Routing Table:

Any ideas would be great, thanks,
Karl.
