Thanks for everyone's anwers.

I have many unicast vlans, but i only want one mcast vlan. At any point, the
chosen path by OSPF (and therefore PIM) is the unicast vlan interface, and
the only way for me to make mcast traffic go through the right vlan is to
use static mroutes, right?
Unfortunately i don't think IOS and JUNOS implement MISIS...

Does the PIM Snooping mechanism on Foundry switches work well among
different vendors routers? I mean, does it really work? :)
