Ah, sorry no for production I want to set multicast TTL to 1 (or so).
Since I've been experiencing problems with a TTL of 0 I just want to be
sure that a TTL of 1 will actually work

Hehe, the only reason for me to set ttl to 0 during development is to
use the same code in development and deployed while islolating my local
services from everybody else during development. I wasnt expecting to
run into trouble with it, but it seems like there is some confusion
around what ttl=0 actually should mean regarding leaving localhost or not.

OK I'll go with constraints and then see what actually happens.
