In theory and in a lab it's not a problem, so yes.

But after talking to any "network department" this normally gets shot down in a 
spiral of meetings and "security concerns" leading to more meetings etc...

The actual WS-Discovery is a multicast packet, so use regular multicast 
boundaries to limit it. Now setting that up for a larger company it's not worth 
the pain. Trust me.

Someone of the 1E dudes might want to fill in if people are using MC to limit 
masters these days, it wasn't really used as far as I can remember for the very 
same reasons.

Subject: [mssms] Branch Cache and larger offices

Hi there folks

I wonder whether any folks have had success with using IGMP forwarding in a 
multi-subnet office in order to improve the utility of Branch Cache to be more 
than just subnet based.

If so, did this work out OK?

Jason
