      According to here, the multicast IP address is created using the cluster name. Is was stated that the class uses a MD5 hash in the name to create the IP.

      Would be nice if we had a way to create the cluster name by inserting the Multicast IP manually, in case you want to have a specific Multicast IP instead of creating it from the name.

            In 5.7 it is now possible to choose your own multicast address independently of cluster name

            This would be very beneficial at my company as my Network Engineering team requires me to use a certain range of IPs for Multicast traffic. If I can reverse hash the desired Multicast IP to a cluster name, this would be very helpful.
