nat and multicast over ipv4

nat and multicast over ipv4

[Samuele Giovanni Tonon]

hi,
after trying some configuration i didn't come with a solution for the 
following problem: 

a Linux box with two eths is acting as a gateway that nat a private
lan to go to the internet.
The ISP use multicast, and all the isp routers are capable of forwardin
multicast traffic.
i would like to make it possible to join to multicast group from the inside
lan.
So the linux box has to forward/nat (i read igmp nat is in the TODO of
netfilter) igmp announcement, and after the join
it has to forward udp traffic that comes from 224/4.
What are the steps to do that with iptables ?
Does the linux box has to have Multicast Routing options in the kernel 
enable ? (looking to the help from the kernel it doesn't look it has to
be enable) .

Multicast-HOWTO is rather old, and it doesn't have any hint, also
mrouted is needed only when you want to tunnel the multicast traffic
from a lan to an another that is multicast capable, but that's not
the examples 'cause the isp after the linux box can "understand" multicast.

Any hint, suggestion, resource for this problem ? 

Thanks
Samuele
