So all is well, and I am very happy with spread and this configuration which works since 3 years!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Yesterday, I added 23 new Raspberry Pi Linux modules and modified all spread.conf files. But instead of adding only the 23 new IP addresses, I decided to add all subnet available IP addresses, so that next time I add a new machine, there is no need to modify it again. I added only up to 128 IPs as spread cannot use more.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>So I have a spread.conf file with 128 defined IP addresses and 78 machines.
