Not really, no, I have just been making my best guess here. I would hope 
bz would join in once it's checked in -- as I understand it, jails are a 
difficult case for multicast (and broadcast) sockets because of how they 
change how address lookup works. Other than that I have done no testing 
with jails.

I believe the code will continue to work as-is, however others are 
welcome to test and contribute once it's in.

thanks,
BMS
