Rikard, can you explain why you have to set the TTL to 0 for production?

If e.g. the reason is that you are not allowed to use multicast then it
is probably better to disable multicast altogether and use unicast
lookup, especially in the light of problems related to a TTL of 0.

Although you probably can find reasons to want to have the dynamics of
multicast discovery on the localhost, for me this is nearing the
qualification of "uninteresting" (borrowing the words of somebody else :-).

With regard to net.jini.discovery.ttl I couldn't find the system
property in the docs or src of the 2.1 release so I doubt that one is
still there, it seems you have to specify constraints.
