I am new to Shoal. First let me say this project is great work!! It is
exactly what I was looking for.

I have read through the mailing list and found. Non-multicast
Rendezvous peers
https://shoal.dev.java.net/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=users&msgNo=395.

I have the SimpleGMSSample running on two nodes. I had to stop my
iptables after which the applications joined a group and the sample
worked.

I need to be able to run shoal with IPTables. What configuration is
required? What addresses and ports need to be allowed.

I do not have a multi-subnet/rendezvous scenario. However I would
thinking in a message passing environment the cluster could obtain
higher utilization if messages were not sent to multicast addresses.

Does TCP work? If so does configuration documentation exists?
