Have you used SRM with multicast (& Tested under load with a traffic generator
like smartbits)?
I have heard colleages mention that it is not as good with complex multicast, b
ut I dont have hard evidence to back this up. I have had one installation where
the customer though a 4 router HSRP config is too complex for them to maintain
. The only thing that worked was Rommon (a Cisco suggestion) We found leaving t
he 2nd MSFC unconfigured caused strange results.

Who in the world said SRM is not supported by Cisco????
SRM works well and I prefer it over config sync in systems with dual
MSFC's. It takes three whole commands and your up and running. I am
running SRM in the lab right now and at serverl customer sights.
Why would you want to leave the second MSFC in ROMMON? I never heard
of this option as it seems redicules on it's face since the reason I
assume you bought two SUP/MSFC's is for redundancy.
