RE: Specifying multicast interface

Hi Rodrick,
From the route man page:
<quote>
route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0 dev eth0

This is an obscure one documented so people know how to do it. This sets
all of the class D (multicast) IP routes to go via "eth0". This is
the correct normal configuration line with a multicasting kernel.

Subject: Specifying multicast interface

Is there a way to configure Linux to use a specific interface for a
multicast address instead of the default routes interface?



Thanks.
