You still didn't answer. You said you have two interfaces on the
same subnet and concluded that the kernel nagged about it.

My question was what exactly you want to do. As you might know, the
multicast client issues an igmp join (usually received by the first
multicast router) and after that it can receive the multicast packets
if the rest of the multicast has been set up properly.
AFAIK, the concept 'NAT' cannot be applied to this kind of communication.
If your linux box is being considered as an mrouter then on one side it
would receive that igmp and on the other side it would forward that
multicast session and of course the multicast routing information to
your upstream mrouter. But beside all these, you said that kernel says
something... again, what is the exact setup and what do you want to do?
If your concern is only forwarding that multicast session, then you have
to ACCEPT that in one of your FORWARD rules... Do you know which multicast
address is being used?
