multihomed FreeBSD

Hi!

I've just successfuly installed vlc 0.8.5 on my FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE and noticed some interesting behaviour -- I got two ipv4-enabled ifaces (fxp0 and fxp1) on this host and when I transmit something via rtp, multicast packets *does* flow but towards the first iface only (fxp0). Similary, when I try to join a multicast group I see host-originated igmp-packets only on 1st iface. Is there any way to use 2nd iface?

TIA!

Any of the developers care to check this please? :P

None of the devs run FreeBSD (or any other BSD variants AFAIK). You're pretty much on you're own :/ Feel free to submit patches or come on the IRC channel if you need help though.

Mutlicast gets out through the interface that holds a route to the multicast prefix. You either alter your routing table, or use --miface and --miface-addr settings.
