Trying to disable Multicast to run multiple JavaSpace's

Hello,

we're trying to disable multicast traffic, so that we can run two (or
more) JavaSpaces in parallel - in the same LAN.

Despite the fact that we have disabled multicast usage (zero length
array for multicastInterfaces), JINI discovers all configured
interfaces:

  [.....]
  Mar 22, 2005 11:23:16 AM com.sun.jini.reggie.RegistrarImpl init
  CONFIG: multicast disabled
  Mar 22, 2005 11:23:16 AM net.jini.config.AbstractConfiguration
getEntryInternal
  [.....]

Obviously, multicast is disabled. Nevertheless:

  root@wherever#snoop -d qfe3 net 224.0.1.84 or net 224.0.1.85
  Using device /dev/qfe (promiscuous mode)
   wherever-qfe3 -> JINI-ANNOUNCEMENT.MCAST.NET IP  D=224.0.1.84
S=10.215.203.68 LEN=28, ID=9325
            app1 -> JINI-ANNOUNCEMENT.MCAST.NET IP  D=224.0.1.84
S=10.215.203.66 LEN=28, ID=40772
            app1 -> JINI-ANNOUNCEMENT.MCAST.NET IP  D=224.0.1.84
S=10.215.203.66 LEN=28, ID=40773

Multicast announcements are being sent out.

Is there any way to totally disable the multicast traffic?

Cheers,
Timur
