Mike,

If using Sparse Mode, PIM NBMA-Mode can be used to solve Outgoing Interface
List problems on multi-point interfaces. It allows the source to be on one
spoke and a receiver on another. It also permits the BSR to be on a spoke.

What exactly do you mean when you say that "the could is broadcast"? OSPF
Network type? It will not make any difference, AFAIK.

Were you able to get multicast traffic from the source to all clients without
using NBMA mode?

  I just completed a vendor lab and thinking I had ace'd the multicast
  section. I missed the ip pim nbma-mode command on the frame-relay
  interfaces.

  Now the Frame cloud was broadcast. It's my understanding that if the cloud
  is broadcast then ip pim nbma-mode is not needed.

  The multicast setup up was PIM v2 BSR sparse-mode. Would that make a
  difference?
