Only because I thought I needed too. I'm doing the multicast, but I just thought that all the nodes had to be listed. > architecture, data is pushed from a monitored node to either a > multicast channel or to a single gmond master node.

So if all 120 nodes are talking on the multicast address, and gmond is running on a different node on the same net, I can get by with just giving localhosts as the data_source? Or any one (or more) of the data nodes? I think that's how I left it today, and I was seeing reports from 30 of the nodes and the other 90 were listed as down. The gmond machine is also serving the webpages, and all machines can see each other on the network.
