It is a long time since i did much with multicast. But my
understanding is that a multicast router should be taking part in
IGMP. If there is a group member on the other side of the gateway, the
router should indicate it has interest in the group so traffic flows
to it. It can then forward the traffic between its multicast
interfaces, based on that interest.
