You can also look at "ip multicast multipath" to help you out.

Subject: Re: Mroute RPF neighbor help needed
If you have more then one path ,the RPF neighbor with highest IP address
will be chosen.That is why you always have 172.16.234.4 as RPF neighbor.
From RFC 2362,
1 Downstream routers will select the upstream router with the
smallest metric preference and metric as their RPF neighbor. If
two metrics are the same, the highest network layer address is
chosen to break the tie. This is important so that downstream
routers send subsequent Joins/Prunes (in SM) to the correct
neighbor. An Assert-timer is initiated when changing the RPF
neighbor to the Assert winner. When the timer expires, the
router resets its RPF neighbor according to its unicast routing
tables to capture network dynamics and router failures.
"If two or more equal-cost paths from a source are available, unicast
traffic will be load split across those paths. However, by default,
multicast traffic is not load split across multiple equal-cost paths. In
general, multicast traffic flows down from the Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF)
neighbor. According to Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) specifications,
this neighbor must have the highest IP address if more than one neighbor has
the same metric."
Please check the configuration guide for more details.
