Multicast docs 12.2 cd wrong? You be the judge!

All,

So for those of you referring to the documentation for multicast helper-map guidance there is a bit of a dicrepancy between these 2 examples:

Exibit A

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122cgcr/fipr_c/ipcpt3/1cfmulti.htm#wp1003511

Exibit B

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios120/12cgcr/np1_c/1cprt1/1cmulti.htm#41833

If you look closely, the last hop router in each example has the helper-map command applied to different interfaces. Exibit A has the command applied to the interface facing the broadcast destination. Exibit B has the command facing the multicast source. I believe the correct config is Exibit B which is in the 12.0 docs.

If someone could verify the 12.0 docs are correct I would appreciate it. Until then, the jury is out.

Whats your verdict?
