[Xorp-users] IGMP Proxy

I would like to know if there is a way to configure the XORP software to
behave like an IGMP proxy.

We have a system in the lab that will become operational and needs to
pass along IGMP Reports from the LAN side (eth0) to the WAN side (eth1)
of the LINUX XORP server. The device on the WAN side does not support
any Multicast Routing protocols other then IGMP and that will not
change. However, the WAN side device will be receiving/sending Multicast
Streams and will forward the traffic to the LINUX XORP Server to be
passed along to the LAN side to the MCAST Source/Receiver. Below is a
diagram of our setup

Mcast_source/receiver-----------LinuxXORP-------WAN_Side_Device
         		             ^        ^       
          		             |        |       
       			      eth0	   eth1     
           		
If someone has configured an IGMP proxy using XORP or other software
your assistance will be greatly appreciated. Please note that we do not
have the option of switching hardware platforms or modifying the
software on the WAN side device.  

If its not possible, I would also like to know that as well.

Thanks,
Sam De Hoyos
