Hi,

I'm not entirely sure about your question but I'll do my best to answer it.
Once you enable the vis server the node will activate a flag in his originator 
messages indicating that you can send vis information. All nodes receiving 
this OGM will send their vis client data to this node.
If you have several vis servers (due to out fo range problems) the nodes will 
send their information to the nearest vis server whereas the vis server 
themselves will sync with each other.

Hope it helps clarifying the situation,
Marek
