Hi I'm a noob... so please bear with me.

I am trying to set up 4 machines on 2 networks, which would all join the 
same group "chat01" and hopefully be able to message each other using 
multicast() with either RELIABLE_MESS or FIFO_MESS.
Two machines are at 24.83.9.162, and their ips are 192.168.0.100 and 
192.168.0.101.  Two other machines are at 64.80.10.152 and their ips are 
at 192.168.0.102 and 192.168.0.103.  Port 4803 is open on each of the 
two routers.  Networks 24.83.9.162 and 64.80.10.152 are only connected 
on the internet.

I've tried various configurations in my spread.conf file and I can't get 
all 4 machines to see any messages sent to the same group "chat01".

Questions:
1) How should my spread.conf be set up - specifically the segments and 
anything else?
2) Where do I run the daemons?
3) How many daemons should I run?
4) To which daemon should each machine connect to?
