I'm trying to figure out if Openvpn is right for me.
Can a config file be conjured up that reroutes multicast packets destined for those that subscribe to 227.200.20.2 and sends them to those that are subscribed to 228.200.20.2?
LinuxBox1 ----> 227.200.20.2 ----> LinuxBox2 [227.200.20.2->228.200.20.2]LinuxBox2----->228.200.20.2---->Windows7Box
I don't have a specific need for it other than this. I was trying to use mrouted, but I couldn't find any useful config files to help me out.
Even if this isn't the right program for me, I would appreciate a boost in the right direction. It doesn't even need to change it from 227 to 228, if it would just pass it along that would be great.

Re: multicast config
Netmask'ing is not related to OpenVPN. See the iptables' option netmask.

Re: multicast config
This is that I found in wiki
"The routing prefix is expressed in CIDR notation. It is written as the first address of a network, followed by a slash character (/), followed by the bit-length of the prefix. For example, 192.168.1.0/24 is the prefix of the Internet Protocol Version 4 network starting at the given address, having 24 bits allocated for the network prefix, and the remaining 8 bits reserved for host addressing. The IPv6 address specification 2001:db8::/32 is a large network for 296 hosts, having a 32-bit routing prefix. In IPv4 the routing prefix is also specified in the form of the subnet mask, which is expressed in quad-dotted decimal representation like an address. For example, 255.255.255.0 is the network mask for the 192.168.1.0/24 prefix."
