Multicast settings now configurable from portal(-ext).properties

##

1. 1. Multicast
      ##

#

1. Consolidate multicast address and port settings in one location for easier
2. maintenance. These settings must correlate to your physical network
3. configuration (i.e. firewall, switch, and other network hardware matter)
4. to ensure speedy and accurate communication across a cluster.
   #
5. Each address and port combination represent a conversation that is made
6. between different nodes. If they are not unique or correctly set, there
7. will be a potential of unnecessary network traffic that may cause slower
8. updates or inaccurate updates.
