connect to FAM from remote machine?

["Viner, David" <dviner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I know that the fam library uses rpc messages to connect to the fam daemon.
Is it possible to connect to a fam daemon on a remote machine (i.e., a
machine that is not localhost)?  

From looking at the code, it appears to me that this is not possible, since
FAMOpen2 constructs the client like this:
        fc->client = new Client(LOCALHOSTNUMBER, famnumber, famversion);
where LOCALHOSTNUMER is
        #define LOCALHOSTNUMBER 0x7f000001 // Internet number for loopback.

thanks
dave
