[IGMP proxy]

After a brief intergurgulation with Bill Fenner:

You could implement an IGMP proxy using the XORP class libraries. You'd
need to do IGMP downstream, with an IGMP client half on the upstream.
See: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-magma-igmp-proxy-06.txt

XORP doesn't do this out of the box; a new process e.g. xorp_igmp_proxy
would need to be written in order to do it.
