Yes you should see an incoming interface for this traffic and at the moment
it is null, which means nothing.

Are you sure your host is sending? Do a debug ip pack det on router1 and
make sure this host exists?

Subject: Multicast Question

I'm running Dense mode between 2 routers and have the following config
on each

Ip multicast routing

Int fa0/0

  Ip pim dense

Int fa1/0

  Ip pim dense

(HOSTA's address is 63.240.45.33)

HOSTA--------------R1-------------------------R2-------------------HOSTB

host a is sending traffic to 223.22.22.25 and .27 but I'm not seeing it
on r2 when I do a show ip mroute.

On r1, I'm seeing the following when I do a show ip mroute:

(*, 230.22.22.27), 00:24:20/00:02:38, RP 0.0.0.0, flags: DC

  Incoming interface: Null, RPF nbr 0.0.0.0

  Outgoing interface list:

    FastEthernet1/0, Forward/Dense, 00:24:20/00:00:00

    FastEthernet0/0, Forward/Dense, 00:24:20/00:00:00

(*, 230.22.22.25), 00:24:17/00:02:36, RP 0.0.0.0, flags: DC

  Incoming interface: Null, RPF nbr 0.0.0.0

  Outgoing interface list:

    FastEthernet1/0, Forward/Dense, 00:24:17/00:00:00

    FastEthernet0/0, Forward/Dense, 00:24:17/00:00:00

R1 obviously knows about the two multicast destinations, shouldn't I be
seeing an entry in the mroute table if HOSTA is indeed sending to
230.22.22.25 and .27?

Also, why is the incoming interface marked as NULL?

I thought I should be seeing something more like:

(63.240.45.33,230.22.22.25) ), 00:24:20/00:02:38, RP 0.0.0.0, flags: DC

  Incoming interface: FastEthernet0/0, RPF nbr 0.0.0.0

  Outgoing interface list:

    FastEthernet1/0, Forward/Dense, 00:24:20/00:00:00

    FastEthernet0/0, Forward/Dense, 00:24:20/00:00:00
