I'm afraid multicast hasn't been a big priority for us. This is
certainly something to bear in mind for the new IO world....

However, there are a couple of hacks that might work.

If you can find out what mcast IP address is being used, you
could try using xc_dom_control to add that address to the domain.

Alternatively, try building the xeno-1.3vnet.bk repository. This
can be (build time) configured to provide L2 switching rather
than L3 routing. I think mcast might 'just work' in this
environment.
