The WiFly firmware offers no direct support for setting different target IP adresses for induvidual packages/messages. That sucks, but I cannot change it.

Depending on your applciation, there are some workarounds however:

  1. Broadcasts
    If all your receipients are in the same physical network (i.e. all in connected to the same wireless AP), you can send your packages to a broadcast adress. i.e. setting the target adress in the setup to "255.255.255.255" will result in the messages going to everybody in the network. Your IPhone-App will just throw away all the debug messages it is not interested in. You can also use a computer in the network to forward specific broadcasts to an IP outside of the network.
    If you think this is a security issue, you should be aware that anybody with a network sniffer will also be able to read messages sent to specific IPs. The WiFly security is a bit dubious anyway.
  2. Setting target IPs between transmissions.
    For setting target IPs, the WiFly has to switch to command mode and back, so this will take an awful amount of time...

It can be done using the setHostIP(const char *buf); method of your WiFly object:

wifly.setHostIP(192.168.0.5); // send messages to iphone. Will take a few seconds.
client.sendInt(analogRead(A0),"/ard/A0Value"); 
wifly.setHostIP(192.168.0.42); // send messages to datalogger. Will take a few seconds again.
client.sendInt(analogRead(A1),"/ard/A1Value");
  1. Use multiple WiFlys
    You can also attach multiple Wiflys to different serial ports and use them in parallel. You can even connect them to different APs to keep the status data away from the audience devices.
    This works great if you have a MEGA with multiple hardware serials. When using multiple software serials, only one can receive data at a time.

Hope that helped!
