Oh well. I have set up the tunnel correctly and the data is running back and forth and the multicast routing tables are present when I run netstat -g and everything looks fine. But the data is not sent to the locally attached network on which the router is hooked up. Therefore the role as a multicast tunnel reduces to null and void, unless there are some magic routing entries that will allow the data flow to also be shared to the other hosts on the very same network as the freebsd multicast router machine. -aage
