I started working with some national mbone "experts" on getting the FreeBSD
to work with mrouted. I got a day into this before I took off for a long
weekend.

essentially what I learned is the multicast UDP packets are listed by netstat
as dropped due a lack of a socket. but on the other hand, the mrouted will
pick up the new group when sd (local or remote) is started. I think the hooks
in the kernel are the problem and I will be working in that direction.

if someone absolutely needs a mbone connection today, use another machine.
