There is no multicast support (and no, you aren't the first to mention it), but we do support and broadcast on Bonjour/zeroconf when Growl.app is available and ready to receive incoming packets. GNTP Subscription would require you to support receiving and responding to subscription requests, and still, if a machine went offline before its TTL was up, you would have timeouts trying to reach it potentially, and for the time being, Growl.app does not support subscribing or being subscribed to (full subscription support is being worked on)
A couple options, which don't involve bonjour necessarily, not knowing much about perl, or the environment you are running this in. Hop the data on the linux box out to where you can do simultaneous/ asynchronous/non timed attempts. Or send the data to one box with Growl.app always up on it, and have it forward from there to all the other boxes (GNTP does support multi hop forwarding).
