does dpmaster have a limit of 256 servers?

[tChr]

My dpmaster keeps hitting 256 registered servers then not getting any more.. is there a limit in dmaster, or is this just random.. 256 is a weird random number, so i felt like asking.

That should answer your question

Yep.

There are two ways around it:
run ./dpmaster -n ####
or change #define DEFAULT_MAX_NB_SERVERS 256 in servers.h

I default my dpmaster to 4096 servers for now.
