Yeah, some machine on their net has to be running mrouted to unencapsulate the multicast packets and slam them on their net. Could be an SGI, could be FreeBSD, could be anything. kuku> I don't know Irix very well.Does it have mcast built in or is there kuku> a kernel rebuild required?

Our SGIs came with an ancient (2.*) version of mrouted. I think newer ones may have more recent versions. But you can get mrouted-3.8 from ftp://ftp.sgi.com/sgi/ipmcast/IRIX5/5.3/mrouted3.8.tar.Z. You have to install hardware specific modules in the system and auto-reconfig the kernel. Pretty painless.
