Hello Fabian and thank you for replying to my question.

Given I am no C developer, would it be possible to hack the source code somewhere and hard-code the IPs of the servers instead of using UDP discovery? Shouldn't MonetDB store information about the servers somewhere?

Thank you.

Hi Ali,

Unfortunately, with the current software stack, there is no way you can
get cluster functionality without UDP broadcasts.  What you would need
is something like https://www.monetdb.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2498.
