The problems with the venue server though aren't multicast, afaics - this is
just the unicast connection between the venue client and venue server, long

But thanks for the cheery news that something else is fragile :-) (although it
hasn't bitten us here, both our multi-machine nodes are fully xp and we have no
[multicast] problems over many hours).
