Hello Dave,

With pim sparse-mode you could either use pim spt-threshold infinity
to prohibit switching to SPT, or use pim bidir mode for a group - it
actually uses only shared tree for multicast delivery.

ip pim dm-fallback specifies, that if PIM router loses RP for a group
(e.g. it misses AutoRP announces), it should switch to dense-mode
delivery mode for that group.

There is no SPT being built in dense mode actually, just repeated
flooding & pruning.
