    Hello,

    I have clients using 2 different multicast adresses. Some use 239.172.1.1 as a public address and some use 239.172.1.16. I have a response proxy running with the following:

    /usr/sbin/uftpproxyd -x 3 -L /var/log/uftpproxyd.log -r -M 239.172.1.1 -U 0x00003416 -t 16

    The problem I have is that all clients using the 2 different adresses are pointed to this response proxy. Currently, the only clients that receive a KEY response are the clients listening on 239.172.1.1. I would like to know if there is a way to also send the responses to the clients listening on 239.172.1.16. I have tried putting both adresses after the -M parameter in the uftpproxyd command string but it only uses the first adress after the -M.

    Thank you.

    -Gene A.

    Gene,

    Currently, a response proxy will only send a PROXY_KEY message to the first multicast address specified in the -M option. I'll look at updating the code to send them to all multicast addresses. In the meantime, you'll need to either set up another response proxy to handle the other public address or use the same public address for all clients.
