so what multicast groups (ip's) can i use in general? other than
230.0.0.1?

You can use any class D address (224.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255), just
like the API documentation for MulticastSocket says.

But the specific choice of group is not really relevant to your
original problem, you still need to enable multicast routing between
the subnets. If that's not a workable solution for you, use a
multicast tunnel of some kind (try Google).
