[Paraview] Client server problems in running 3.2.1 on SVA

Hello,
 I am trying to run Paraview 3.2.1 in client server mode. So here is
my setup, I have a cluster
of workstations n[1-3]. I launch the client on n1 and reverse connect
to my servers on n2 and n3.
I am running the client like this
$[n1] mpirun <...other MPI options...> paraview -s=n2 -s=n3
and server like this
$[n2] mpirun <...other MPI options...> pvserver -rc --client-host=n1
-tdx=2 -tdy=1
and
$[n3] mpirun <...other MPI options...> pvserver -rc --client-host=n1
-tdx=2 -tdy=1
but paraview connects only to n3 but not to n2.
I figured out from the list and corresponding with Weiguang that by creating a
servers.pvsc file in .config/ParaView/servers.pvsc and adding
<Servers>
  <Server name="builtin" resource="builtin:">
    <ManualStartup/>
  </Server>
  <Server name="n2" resource="csrc://n2:11111">
    <ManualStartup/>
  </Server>
  <Server name="n3" resource="csrc://n3:11111">
    <ManualStartup/>
  </Server>
</Servers>

I can't get the client to connect, when I remove the
--server=<nodename> line on the client, it does not
read the above file and does not connect. I have to manually say
file->connect and connect to a selected
server, but once I connect to one of them, it drops the connection
another server. Has the ability to
connect to multiple servers been disabled in 3.2.1 ?
I want to run one client and multiple servers to have a multi-tiled display.

Regards,
Manju
