> h3. Problem
> It appears that trying to send to all interfaces with {{NULL}} or {{"0.0.0.0"}} in the following statement actually picks the first non-loopback interface and sends to it.
> The result is that there is no datagram on other interfaces. Surprisingly, this is not deterministic though: After dozens or hundreds of messages, eventually one datagram reaches another interface.
> {code}
> if ((rv = apr_sockaddr_info_get(&ma_niface_sa, NULL,
>                                 ma_mgroup_sa->family, 0,
>                                 APR_UNSPEC, pool)) != APR_SUCCESS) {
>     ap_log_error(APLOG_MARK, APLOG_ERR, rv, s,
>                  "mod_advertise: ma_group_join apr_sockaddr_info_get(0.0.0.0:0) failed");
>     return rv;
> }
> {code}
> h3. Impact
> Picture this simple scenario: There are two interfaces, e.g. 
> {noformat}
> enp1s0 10.16.88.187
> enp2s0 172.18.0.1
> {noformat}
> listed in this exact order with {{ip addr show}}.
> One has an EAP 7 (Wildfly 10) instance with mod_cluster bound to {{172.18.0.1}} IP address, which implies {{enp2s0}} interface.
> Furthermore, one has an Apache HTTP Server instance with mod_cluster bound to {{172.18.0.1}} IP address, i.e. MCMP VirtualHost and main VirtualHost all Listen on this IP address.
> Result: Without advertising, using an explicit {{proxy-list}}, all is well. MCMP works, requests work, balancing works.
> On the other hand, relying on advertisement, it could take EAP 7 (Wildfly 10) *minutes* to register with the balancer.
> The reason is that a vast majority of UDP Multicast datagrams arrives at enp1s0 and EAP 7 (Wildfly 10) doesn't see them.
> h3. Reproducer
> Lemme demonstrate with a recently refactored [advertise.c|https://github.com/Karm/mod_cluster/tree/advertise-native-test/test/native/advertise] utility for sending datagrams and the well known [Advertize.java|https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modcluster/mod_cluster/master/test/java/Advertize.java] utility for receiving them.
> Your your convenience, here are binaries built from the aforementioned sources:
> * Advertize java utility: [^Advertize.class]
> * advertise native utility (Linux3 x86_64): [^advertise-linux3_x86_64.zip]
> * advertise native utility (WIndows x86): [^advertise-windows_x86.zip]

> Ideas? :) [~jfclere], [~rhusar] 
> I suggest adding {{bindaddr}} from AdvertiseBindAddress instead of NULL or perhaps adding a configuration directive that lets one to pick either MCMP VirtualHost ip address or default -- NULL.
