I'm generating large filesets (~20GB) nightly on a single Windows host and multicasting them out to about ten other hosts (also Windows) using uftp. I've had to write my own wrapper to make this work and it needs a central controller with full knowledge of the network. I'd much rather have a sync system (like Live Mesh) that a wider set of clients can "subscribe to" but I don't want to compromise on the performance of the multicast solution.

Anyone made anything like this work well?

is this a single subnet or multi? – tony roth Jul 16 '10 at 15:59
hmm read up on uftp and I can't think of a simpler method. Not sure what you mean buy full knowledge of the network, are you using the proxyserver? – tony roth Jul 16 '10 at 16:10
"Full knowledge of the network" means I need to know in advance who the clients are, unlike dropbox where clients can just "subscribe". – Dave Gregory Sep 23 '10 at 10:52
Single subnet for the moment, though if there's a way of going multi-subnet it'd be very useful... – Dave Gregory Sep 23 '10 at 10:52
