Hi there... As you said multicast traffic is normaly not routed. But you can do a view steps to do this. First enable multicast support and multicast routing in the routers linux kernel. I've tried to route multicast packets with the iptables -j ROUTE target IIRC, but that doesn't seem to work. The much cleaner is to use the multicast routing daemon (mrouted). On debian systems you can easily apt-get the packet, on other systems i suggest to google around.
