pimd's Configuration

[carrocelpolones]

Hi,

I've enabled multicasting in the linux kernel. I could run pimd with the default configuration (without any modification in its .conf file).

Now, I'm having some trouble in configuring pimd for my purpose. I need to connect two private networks using pimd. I have two clusters and I need to enable multicast between them.

Each cluster has a management node (router) that is the gateway for the internet. Thus, this node is a NAT server.

In order to have communication between a node in cluster A and a node in cluster B, the communication channel must pass through both management nodes.

I'm trying to configure pimd in this scenario. I need to have it forwarding multicast beween the two clusters. However, as far as I've seen, pimd "forwards" multicast from a subnet to another subnet. In my case, I need pimd forwarding from a subnet to another router (pimd) that forwards to another subnet.

Is that (create a multicast tunnel) possible? If yes, how should I configure pimd to achieve such multicast tunneling?

Regards,
Robson

You could perhaps setup a GRE tunnel ... look at http://github.com/troglobit/pimd/blob/master/README.config for example.
