Default Multicast/Broadcast Cluster state after HFA04

I just successfully completed my first Hotfix upgrade on our production cluster. Although traffic is flowing and things appear to be normal, I have a question regarding the cphaprob state command.

According to my topology, 192.168.32.44 and .45 are the sync interfaces. 192.168.16.44 and .45 are actually one of the DMZ interfaces.

I have 'funny' results depending on if I use multicast or broadcast.

Also, if I set cphaconf set_ccp multicast, then i get different results:

Can anyone shed some light on what could be causing this?
