Testing Multicast Helper-Map with IP SLA

Hello,

I am trying to get multicast helper-map to work (using SLA for
testing) but having issues. My first hope router is not converting
broadcast to multicast.

Topology:

R1---R2---R3---R4---R5

R1-R2: 192.168.12.0/24
R2-R3: 192.168.23.0/24
R3-R4: 192.168.34.0/24
R4-R5: 192.168.45.0/24

IP Multicast-routing is enabled.
PIM-DM on all interfaces of R2,R3 and R4.
All Routes are known via OSPF.

R1 has the following IP SLA config:

 ip sla monitor 1
  type udpEcho dest-ipaddr 192.168.45.255 dest-port 4000 control disable
  frequency 5
 ip sla monitor schedule 1 life forever start-time now

R2 has the "First Hop" helper config:

 ip forward-protocol udp 4000
 access-list 100 permit udp host 192.168.12.1 host 192.168.45.255 eq 4000
 interface Serial1/1
  ip address 192.168.12.2 255.255.255.0
  ip pim dense-mode
  ip multicast helper-map broadcast 239.0.0.1 100

R4 has the "Last Hop" help config:

 ip forward-protocol udp 4000
 access-list 100 permit udp host 192.168.12.1 any eq 4000
 interface Serial1/1
  description to R3
  ip address 192.168.34.4 255.255.255.0
  ip pim dense-mode
  ip multicast helper-map 239.0.0.1 192.168.45.255 100

 interface Serial1/0
  description to R5
  ip address 192.168.45.4 255.255.255.0
  ip directed-broadcast

R5 has ip sla monitor responder

I am capturing packets and when R4 gets the packets from R3, they
still have the destination of 192.168.45.255, which means the problem
is on R2.

In fact, if I debug ip packet on R2 I see this:

*Mar 7 00:05:32.840: IP: s=192.168.12.1 (Serial1/1), d=192.168.45.255
(Serial1/0), g=192.168.23.3, len 44, forward
*Mar 7 00:05:32.844: UDP src=50398, dst=4000

But the ACL shows no hits:

R2#sho access-lists
Extended IP access list 100
    10 permit udp host 192.168.12.1 host 192.168.45.255 eq 4000

Can you seen any issues with this configuration?

thank you,
