- I'm trying to use a Mach port to connect a server process to multiple
- client processes on different machines. I'd like to connect the server
- through the network broadcast address and have the clients simply grab the
- packets as they appear. Is this possible with Mach, and if so, how? I can
- manage it with sockets, but I have to use UDP, and I don't want to do that
- because it's not particularly stable. The other problem is that according
- to the relevant SUN documentation the server process will have to be
- setuid root to use UDP with sockets.
-
- The basic goal is to have the server send a datagram once and have
- multiple machines grab it.
-
- I've looked through all the references I have access to, and can't seem to
- find anything. Can anyone suggest a solution?
