We use mrouted to configure multicast tunnels in pretty much the following way (IP addresses tweaked to protect the guilty): % more mrouted.conf tunnel 10.33.1.16 192.168.49.50 metric 1 threshold 1 tunnel 10.33.1.16 192.168.10.251 metric 1 threshold 1 ... In this case, 10.33.1.16 is the local IP, and 192.168.49.50 are remote IPs of other multicast tunnel endpoints with similar configurations. The remote boxes are generally on the other side of wide area networks without multicast routing in between.
