do it similar on the client

turns out you can join multiple multicast groups on the same socket.
And then I think the OS or the network somehow decides how to route
packets to you. Without touching anything else, if I'm plugged into
Ethernet, it picks that address (when running client on the desktop)
and when I unplug it, it picks the laptop's WiFi.
