One option is to compute the multicast group address from the machine's own
local address.  For example, on many LANs UDP broadcasts (including
multicast) are not routed past the 255.255.255.0 subnet, and so you could
just use the last octet of the IP address for the last octet of the
multicast group address.  Depending on the LAN topology, that or some
variation on the idea could work.

But more reliable would be to just transmit the machine's IP address as
part of the app-singleton protocol you design, so that each recipient of
the multicast address can distinguish between instances on the local
machine and those elsewhere.
