You wrote about putting public your code. Did you? Where can I get it, is the 
CVS always the uptodate source (I never worked with CVS before)?

As now minor changes to some (sooner or later most/all) hardware drivers 
arise (though only triggered when MULTICAST is enabled) perhaps 5.0.7-rc 
should stay rc for some days, so that these changes can make their way to the 
next release. The opposite argumentation would be to release stable and 
old-fashioned, giving the multicast out to public retarded. That's not what I 
(my two cents, you know, thanks to Peter Billson for explaning me that 
phrase) like, the more public the better the testing. We don't force anyone 
to enable that configuration switch.

To Eric:
What about the standard protocol (or less-standard?) you want to have for 
multicast? Do you have documentation at hand? Else I would like to start 
adding tftp-mcast support as my quickly hacked daemon for that protocol at 
least runs, on low-load-testing with two clients stably. Perhaps if ready I 
could have a mass-test (ok, 15 clients is not much, but better that nothing) 
the after-next weekend at my "private testing laboratory", until then I 
should have made a release out of it, announce will follow. But of course, if 
you have a better protocol at hand, please let me know.
