I am attempting to upgrade the 'pmake' parallel make utility to allow the
'customs' daemons to run on more than one subnetwork.  The daemons
communicate using RPC calls, and in particular, broadcast RPC calls.  The
present code only broadcasts on one subnetwork.  That is, if the daemon is
on host 192.9.200.83, its broadcast will only be seen by hosts
192.9.200.*.  Is this an inherent feature of the RPC broadcast, or if I
supply the daemon with several network numbers, can it broadcast to all of
them?

Thanks,
