lsof -i :4000 listed similar to what is listed to you(could not paste here as characters exceeded for this post) on deployer web server(also on other servers):

IMPROVEMENT: I happily Used the Multicast configuration changing auto to ip in Receiver and I saw myapp.war on another web server when I placed the war file in watch directory on deployer web server. The Problem is, war is only extracting on the deployer web server(creating a direcotry) but not on other servers.

Update:2 for EDIT

ifconfig listed the below entry for eth0 on all web servers

UP BROADCAST RUNNING MASTER MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

Executed the below command on all the web servers

route add -host 228.0.0.4 dev eth0

ping to 228.0.0.4 didn't work on any of the system
