   Does it matter which address the server binds?   
      
   Seems to me that ANYADDR should work, but one reference   
   I find says that it should bind to 255.255.255.255.   
      
   The bind is done inside the rpc routines, and not by me.   
      
   I did try setting SO_BROADCAST on it, even though that is   
   only supposed to be for clients (senders), but that didn't help.   
      
   thanks.
