Linux/AM3354: IP address binding issue

Part Number: AM3354


Tool/software: Linux

Hi ,

I have a am335x based processor card and it will connect to a display and it have a Ethernet interface. I have same type of cards 4 connected through a switch. I have built my application in QT. My requirement is to show a data received from Ethernet in each display. I have configured master unit with 192.168.0.1 and others as 192.168.0.2,192.168.0.3,192.168.0.4. From master IP data will be sent on broadcast to all displays (192.168.0.255) , we will able to receive data and display. I slave i have bind the IP with broadcast IP.  But i have one more requirement , master unit shall know the health of the each other unit. Here i am facing issue in all slave units. It is not able to receive the health. As the slave unit is bind with Broadcast IP(192.168.0.255). My question is, can i bind with two IPs for the same socket. Here my slave unit shall capture the data from any IP, but it need to send reply to only master IP. If i bind the slave units with master IP,  Iam not able to receive the broad cast data.
