The server did respond to both ping / traceroute, though a nagios-plugin
check failed.
[root at mx1 ~]# ./check_udp -H 66.250.40.33 -p 24441
Receive failed
No response from host on port 24441

Also as per this
'https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=6989953&forum_id=87
11', pyzord lacks syncing features, hence i assume there is only one server.
(though why he didn't think of ssh + rsync to do the syncing effectively
outside of pyzor is beyond me.)
