IGMP / Multicast in progress for 1.3?

UnderCover · Jun 17, 2008, 3:26 PM

I was jsut doing some forum searching and was wondering about IGMP and Multicast support such as forwarding those requests to a server in the private lan.

Is there any support for this as of now or will there be? I would like to get our Symantec Ghost Client to communicate through IGMP instead of WINS if at all possible while keeping pfsense as our main firewall.

Not possible now, and no plans to do this for 1.3. None of the developers use multicast or have access to a suitable test environment. Might get done if you start a bounty.

Hello,

in 2007 a user already started a bounty for that (http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,4491.0.html). No developer accepted the bounty, maybe it was too low ($100).

Can you tell me if it is possible with mrouted at all, or do we have to find a developer for porting igmpproxy to FreeBSD?
