Which OpenWrt version should that be? There is no release with 2018.0 and the 
current version in master is also newer.

Have you checked whether process_alfred_announce_master (recv.c) rejects the 
incoming packet for some reason and thus doesn't add it to the server list?

If not, have you checked whether sync_data (send.c) really sends out the data 
via push_data to the remote server?

If all daemons are in server mode then they will not create a request via 
`alfred -r`. Instead, they regularly sync [1] their facts between each other 
(same port but different packet type).

Kind regards,
