[Openais] bindnetaddr question

Hi!

I try to understand what the meaning "bindnetaddr" in totem{interface{}}
means.

The Debian default is 127.0.0.1.
in corosync.conf.example is 192.168.1.1.

Man pages say: This  address  should always end in zero.  If the totem
traffic should be routed over 192.168.5.92, set bindnetaddr to 192.168.5.0.

What is this IP address used for? I have 2 nodes within the same LAN:
11.22.33.83/28
11.22.33.84/28
--> network address: 11.22.33.80

Do I have to change the bindnetaddr or can I use 127.0.0.1 (as
communication uses multicast addresses)?

If I have to set bindnetaddr, what value should I use (e.g. on node 1):
11.22.33.83 (IP address)
11.22.33.80 (network address)
11.22.33.0  (as man pages say)


Thanks
Klaus
