Hi,

I also had the problem with the software list.
After quite some time, even going through the database, I dicovered that
the ZLM server needs to be able to resolve the hostname of that machine to
an IP address.

Thus if my client and server were the same machine, my software would be
listed, otherwise not.
As soon as I add the hostname to the /etc/hosts file all was solved.

Thus, I recomend looking at dynamic DNS, specially for your NLD machines.
