Larry,

        Cisco routers will prefer Auto-RP advertisements over static RP
assignments. In order to prevent rouge auto-RP assignments, configure
the 'ip pim accept-rp' command to specify which static RPs and
corresponding groups you will send join messages to. The 'ip pim
accept-rp auto-rp' will instruct the router to ignore all static RP
assignments and only allow auto-RPs.

HTH,

I think it can be configure in MA to chose which rp to advertise to rest
of
the network when he get more then one rp for the same group.
it can prefer auto-rp ver static rp.
