I am trying to do a multicast tunnel through a PPP link using
mrouted on an SGI on one end and FreeBSD on the other.

The problem is that mrouted in its infinite wisdom wont let me
set up a tunnel to a machine that it thinks is on the same subnet.
It tells me it in unnecassary and then bombs when it discovers that
there are no more interfaces it can use.

Is there any way to thwart this?

Thanks.
