Thanks Amancio- forgot about the "multimedia" list... this email is
going there instead.
The problem is that the IP address of the client is proxy-arp'ed, and
mrouted doesn't consider the tunnel valid:
Client Server
|
+----+ +----+ | <-- Ethernet (with mbone)
| | 207.76.205.X | | |
| +--------------------------------+ +---+ <-- 207.76.205.Y
| | ^^ PPP connection ^^ | | | <-- 207.76.205.X (proxy)
+----+ +----+ |
|
Both machines are running 960801-SNAP.
I can't just run an mrouted tunnel from 207.76.205.Y to 207.76.205.X
because mrouted considers that ridiculous, since the IP addresses seem
to be on the same subnet, and it won't do it.
I guess mrouted should take a look at the routing table first before it
makes this determination.
