> Have you tried turning rp_filter off in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth1? Yes! That did it! Grr, the solution frequently seems so easy and somehow not worth all the head banging. It turns out that the source of the multicast broadcasts has an IP address that is not on the same subnet as the interface. I assume what rp_filter does then is to drop those packets, since it thinks that those might be forged or bad. Does that make sense? Thanks!
