Hi Eric, I should have read the copyright license more carefully... I am currently using mrouted to forward multicast packets between different subnets (financial quotes and corporate TV). I could have used a bridge, but in my case this would have implied ebtables (each subnet has its own DHCP server). The _really_ interesting thing is that I'm facing a strange problem; even if it seems to run correctly, I always get a "syntax error" during the parsing of its config file (/etc/mrouted.conf) only if something is un-commented (also when using the sample provided with the package!). The compilation procedure didn't give any error... it seems that could somehow be related to yacc (I also downloaded, compiled and used byacc under ucilibc to build mrouted, with the same results). In this situation, mrouted correctly forwards packets between the connected subnets, but it's impossible to set up DVMRP tunnels... I'll have to spend more time working on this issue. Ciao
