Multicast Problem

Hi Group,
 
I always find that multicast is a different topic to understand.
 
A very simple scenario: R1 is hub, two spokes R2 and R3, R5 connected to R2. All FR use main interfaces:
          R1
         / \
R5--R2 R3
 
I configured sparse mode and static RP on each router. RP is R1 (172.16.1.1). All routers configured R1 as RP statically.
R1, R2 and R3's lo interface join group 230.30.30.30 (no ip pim sparse configured in all lo interfaces)
 
Ping 230.30.30.30 from R5, sometimes I obtained responses from all 3 routers, sometimes I obtained responses only from R1 and R2. And even from R2 only.
 
R5-r4#ping 230.30.30.30
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 1, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 230.30.30.30, timeout is 2 seconds:

After clear ip mroute on R1.
 
ping 230.30.30.30 from R5 cannot get response from R3.
 
After a few minutes latter.
 
ping 230.30.30.30 from R5 cannot get response from R1 and R3.

At this moment, R1's mroute table:
 
(*, 230.30.30.30), 00:04:57/stopped, RP 172.16.1.1, flags: SL
  Incoming interface: Null, RPF nbr 0.0.0.0
  Outgoing interface list:
    Serial5/0, 172.16.123.2, Forward/Sparse, 00:04:08/00:03:18
(172.16.25.5, 230.30.30.30), 00:04:57/00:01:06, flags: PLT
  Incoming interface: Serial5/0, RPF nbr 172.16.123.2
  Outgoing interface list: Null
(*, 224.0.1.40), 00:05:02/00:03:25, RP 172.16.1.1, flags: SJCL
  Incoming interface: Null, RPF nbr 0.0.0.0
  Outgoing interface list:
    Serial5/0, 172.16.123.2, Forward/Sparse, 00:04:06/00:03:19
    Serial5/0, 172.16.123.3, Forward/Sparse, 00:05:00/00:03:24
 
A few minutes latter, only get response from R2 and R3, not R1
R5-r4#ping 230.30.30.30
Type escape sequence to abort.
