I would suggest sending to the URL of the active or newly selected server, which may be an internally addressable LAN address (ex. 192.168.1.10) or an externally addressable internet address (xyz.dyndns.com, etc). But you do need to allow for a port to be specified if it is not the SC default port that WOL is sent to. Most internet based WOL software uses either port 9 or 7 but can be changed. That way someone can setup their WAN router to have a much higher port to open for WOL for security reasons and then pass that WOL packet to the broadcast ip or individual server ip in their LAN from the router firewall. BTW, what port does a SB or iPeng send the WOL packet using as a default?
