    Mostly support question, sent to kernel list because of confusion with
    mc_forwarding being set as read only.

    I've been working on a Linux PPTP VPN server for clients that require
    multicasting. I only have one physical interface in the box and I'm using
    the PoPToP package for PPTP support. Getting the VPN setup and working
    hasn't been a problem, getting the multicast traffic to flow between the ppp
    and eth0 interface is causing me a whole lot of problems. What do I need to
    do so that I can tell the kernel to forward all relevant multicast traffic
    through to the clients (in essence just a simple IGMP router)? I've been
    looking at mrouted, pimd-dense and mrtd but haven't had any luck getting
    them to work because of the dynamic nature of the PPP interfaces.

    My backup is a W2K server which I've had some luck getting to work but I
    would really hate to use it unless I need to because there is a huge
    political battle raging right now about Linux being a sub standard OS.

    Thanks.
