First I'm hearing of it.

 

Just playing in IOS and found it tonight.

 

int f1/0

ip service reflect

 

I have never seen this feature tested in any vendor workbook. has anyone?

 

The Multicast Service Reflection feature provides the capability for users
to translate externally received multicast destination addresses to
addresses that conform to their organization's internal addressing policy.
Using this feature, users do not need to redistribute routes at the
translation boundary into their network infrastructure for Reverse Path
Forwarding (RPF) to work properly, and users can receive identical feeds
from two ingress points in the network and route them independently.
