Christophe: I never tried to configure multicast traffic to pass through my Checkpoint firewall, but at one time it looked like we would need to so I did some research about how to do this.
To the best of my knowledge, you need to configure your underlying Operating system to route multicast traffic, and then craft firewall-1 rules to allow this traffic to pass through the inspection filter. You'll need to find a routing daemon capable of passing multicast traffic. I know that in Linux, you can use "mrouted". I believe there's also a product from the Merit Consortium (www.gated.org). So basically, find the mrouted equivalent for your OS. Configure Multicast routing, and then open it up on the firewall.
