Hmm, it looks to me that Flavio showed that it should actually work
correctly.

The routing lookup is done at IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP time. I really wonder why you
have routed the 239.0.0.0/8 range to eth0.11. It seems to me that the kernel
does what you told it to do. ;)

multicast flag on ip route is just used for multicast forwarding and does not
matter for local multicast. Also if we find unicast route first (more
specific) kernel does not do backtracking if destination is in multicast
scope.

Greetings,
