Following the spec it should be unicast.  Keep in mind that
non-broadcast networks (point-to-multipoint) don't support
multicasting, that's why you have to manually configure your 
neighbors.  As far as whether broadcast networks that are set 
to point-to-multipoint via the Cisco command use unicast or 
multicast I'm not sure since this is not part of the standard.  
I would guess that they still use unicast since it is trying 
to pretend like it's a point-to-multipoint network.
