that the thing I need is an "IGMP proxy", it's a multicast analog of NAT, isn't it?

Is there some simple soft for IGMP proxy for Linux? I tried igmpv3proxy http://potiron.loria.fr/projects/madynes/internals/perso/lahmadi/igmpv3proxy/
, but it compiled with a lot of warnings and doens't work, say "setsockopt IP_MSFILTER: Cannot assign requested address" when receive an IGMP packet.

A *simple* IGMP proxy is required, no need in MBone, DVMRP etc. I have only one downstream host.

Maybe there are some kernel patches solving the problem?


Not a proxy but you can set up static routes and issue joins with smcroute - it compiles and "works" on 2.6.12 & 16. Trouble is I don't think things work at my ISP so I don't really know if it works yet.
