All things related to multicast

Hi Ken,

From the TAC notes, it appears that v7.1.2 also has the multicast 
reboot fix.  We may upgrade to that.  We haven't experienced the reboot 
problem, but then again, our multicast is not really working through the 
PIX.  Please send me a copy of the new multicast docs when you have them 
ready.  I'd love to try them out!

Thanks.

        -John
