[Bro] Netstats Error

[Will]

All,

Saw a similar issue discussed here:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.detection.bro/4055, but
I am not using pf_ring to load balance and this was working for me not
long ago while running beta. I am thinking maybe a permissions issue?

[localhost]$ sudo broctl netstats
  worker-1: <error: cannot connect to 192.168.0.5:47763>
  worker-2: <error: cannot connect to 192.168.0.5:47764>
  worker-3: <error: cannot connect to 192.168.0.5:47765>
  worker-4: <error: cannot connect to 192.168.0.5:47766>
  worker-5: <error: cannot connect to 192.168.0.5:47767>
  worker-6: <error: cannot connect to 192.168.0.5:47768>
  worker-7: <error: cannot connect to 192.168.0.5:47769>
  worker-8: <error: cannot connect to 192.168.0.5:47770>

Everything seems to be running like it should though: (Except the ???'s)

Also, I am wondering what kind of issues I might run into managing
several geographically disparate clusters from a single manager.
Currently, I have each setup as a separate bro cluster. I am most
concerned about the amount of traffic and possible congestion this
might cause. Is there a way to measure the amount of traffic between
the workers and manager if all are on the same server?  Would there be
major drawbacks by having the manager on a remote server, like
potential delayed or dropped communications?

Thanks in advance for the feedback.
