Re: Design question

IMO the good approach is to inroduce server, in which clients will
"register" or connect.
Server will have the list of connections ( machines table ).

Then you send data to the server, and server routes it to the clients that
are present in the connection list.

If you want design a failover mechanism then 1 server will be not enough.
