[vlc] Choosing Ethernet Interface on Multicast Join

[George Bray]

Dave,

I've done this by adding a route the multicast class D range.  You end
up with your mcast addresses on the non-default eth.  VLC is happily
ignorant of this, and you can stream between networks.

This does it for the entire class D range (224 upwards) to a different
network interface.

       sudo route add -net 224.0.0.0 192.168.1.0 240.0.0.0

It's important to restart VLC after route changes though.

George
