There is no problem in joining. Remember that the multicast DVMRP implementation is flood and then prune, so traffic will first reach you and then get pruned back over the tunnel. > I would appreciate if someone could check if they can detect remote groups > or see if you can see a multicast group called "ndsu wb", or if someone is > willing to set up a mini-mbone to test the tunnelling, I would apprecaite > it. I did see this session sometime yesterday.

I will make a note of this for the next release Thanks for all the help, Ajit
