I am having problems configuring multicast support on my PIX 515 (6.3(2)).
I am trying support a Symantec Ghost Console on my Inside network, communicating with Ghost Clients on my DMZ network.
Server:
System = Windows 2000 Server, Domain member
IP = 192.168.0.18
Default Gateway = 192.168.0.75 (PIX Inside interface)
Multicast Client:
System = Windows XP Professional, Workgroup member
IP = 192.168.2.31
Default Gateway = 192.168.2.1 (PIX DMZ interface)
The following article describes the multicast infrastrcuture required for this system to work:

I have tried a number of multicast configurations, with no success.
My questions are these:
Does the PIX support the multicast communications that I need -- or do I have to wait for 7.0?
If it does, what configuration do I require (in terms of multicast, nat and access-list settings) -- given that my Server and Workstations are on different subnets/interfaces?
When I ran Microsoft's "mcast.exe" (multicast troubleshooting utility), none of the multicast traffic got through. When I moved the Client to the same subnet/interface as the Server, the multicast traffic was fine.
Thanks to all for your input,
Alan
