I recall seeing this happen once or twice in the past, but never really
looked into it. I suspect some OS-related problem wrt. multicast packets
not getting looped back as they should be.
Which OS is running at each end? (I assume you're running your tunnel
between liveGate and multikit)
(BTW, with UMTP tunneling (e.g., liveGate<->multikit or
liveGate<->liveGateForIntranets) there's really no distinction between "the
unicast end" and "the multicast end". Each end of the tunnel does
multicast; unicast is used just for the tunnel traffic.)
