Hi Peter,

My understanding is that ARP and all "IP" traffic is by default allowed from
a higher security interface to lower one.

The fact that your multicast (presuming its eigrp/ospf) traffic is getting
denied is probably not that its destined to a multicast address, but rather
that its not IP traffic i.e. its ospf or eigrp neighbor init traffic.

So you do need to explicitly allow this on the inside (and obviously
outside) interfaces. If you want, you can just permit any ospf/eigrp, or if
you want to be specific you can limit the exchange from the appropriate
source to the protocol multicast address (for the initial hello) and also
from the appropriate source to the actual ospf/eigrp neighbor (remembering
that once a neighborship is up, the routing updates will be unicast).
