No it isn't, dammit! If I tell you that FreeBSD doesn't do multicast, you better believe me it doesn't. There is absolutely no code to support IP multicast in FreeBSD (any version), with the exception of certain network interface drivers, which WERE NOT DEVELOPED FOR FreeBSD and which happened to already have multicast support. When I have the multicast code integrated and tested, I'll let /everyone/ know, I assure you. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
