Jeremy,
This is one important limitation of feedbackd.
As Alexandre suggested, you may want to try a multicast protocol like
SASP. Are you planning to work on that in a very near future? It would
be great for the community to have an opensource feedback code for
KeepAlived.
I am willing to work on it to the best of my ability.
Please give me your thoughts on this.
Thanks.

Sam
