Short answer for your question: the two lines you tried to use as a distance configuration both have typos:
> workers.localhost.distance=10 > workers.localhost.distance=20 workers -> worker localhost -> ritin (once) I just did a quick test with 1.2.20 (there should no be change wrt. distance between 19 and 20) and it worked.
