Nitro,

For Q1. George's Observation is correct. As far as autorp listener is
turned on, the 224.0.1.39 and 40 will work in DENSE mode. nbma mode
will not work for them. I suggest you turn off autorp listener and set
default candidate RPs for 224.0.1.39 and 40.

Q2. Not necessarily. NBMA mode will work fine for the sparse mode
groups (groups with an RP) when you configure sparse-dense mode.

Q3. Your Understanding is correct
