I hadn't added something I needed to at the end of the previous e-mail. If you
 get
to a router where it has "null" in the outbound interface, turn off ip multicas
t
fast-switching on that outbound interface (no ip mroute-cache). Also if this
outbound interface is the one with the join-group command, the outbound interfa
ce
should not be null, it should have that outbound interface. However, there are
 some
bugs related to this. Once you have multicast fast-switching turned off on th
e
outgoing interface, remove the join-group command, turn off pim, wait for pim t
o
time out, readd pim and readd join-group and see if that outbound interface is
in
the outbound interface list (OIL). Should it still not show up, repeat the pre
vious
steps but once you've removed pim and join-group, shut the interface, wait for
everything to clear out, then readd pim and the join-group command.

I've run into this many many times and the above steps are a workaround to get
it
working. It's a bug if you don't have an interface in the OIL when you have
join-group or static-group configured.
