Well if  you want to run any testing let me know. We've used two apps  
to test mutlicast in the past.

ftp://puck.nether.net/pub/jared/rtt-0.12.tar.gz

it listens on a hardcoded group address in rtt_resp.c, you can change  
it, then run the app. Put together by a co-worker and should work on  
any linux/unix box. We also use the multicast beacon project

http://dast.nlanr.net/projects/beacon/

About the only thing that it'll prove is that multicast works between  
you and Verio though :) Although if  you do decide to do this you can  
give rtt to anyone else and they can test multicast connectivity to you.
