[Spread-users] getting 2 daemons to talk to each other?

[Rod Fleischer]

That did it... thanks very much for the help :)

I don't remember seeing anything like that in the docs though, and 
definitely not in the sample spread.conf.  Something like that is 
nonintuitive (at least to me) and should probably be clarified...

Thanks again.
