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 before the multicast a/v apps kick in.
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).
Cheers,
