change your PPP interface IP or the other interface's netmask to make two
networks. if the SGI and the FreeBSD are pretty much permanently connected
to each other, maybe you could exchange the PPP IP numbers.

 The Multicast router assumes since you put the IP/netmask in the
same network, it must be a redundant link to the same place and it purposely
does not setup the virtual interface. your SGI's mulitcast code should give
the same complaint.
