I had this thing in mind (whatever u said) but somehow i feel my sol (sol 1)
is correct based on following :

1) As i know ; multicast boundary filters based on dest address and
access-grp filters based on source-address
   So If i use the multicast boundary ; I am actually instructing the router
to filter the pkts with dest as < whatever specified>.

2) If I specify access-grp command ; I am actually saying that "Please
listen to IGMP jons for these addresses only"
     Again if we have join ; then only traffic will b forwarded .

SO I have feeling ; that sol 1 is valid .
Can someone put more light on this case

Regards
Gaurav Madan.
