LAB: Multicast Load Sharing via Tunnel
By creating a tunnel between the two equal paths to the same destination and making this tunnel a passive-interface (i.e OSPF) not allowing unicast traffic to use the tunnel for routing, but instead allowing only multicast traffic to use the tunnel.
note: PIM is not enabled on physical serial interfaces. only the tunnels and LAN ethernet interfaces are PIM enabled.

SHOW COMMANDS
show ip route shows that it is using serial interfaces to reach the multicast source 10.1.1.88
Porkpie# show ip route 10.1.1.88
Routing entry for 10.1.1.0/24
Known via "ospf 1", distance 110, metric 138, type intra area
Last update from 10.2.3.1 on Serial1/0.609, 00:09:05 ago
Routing Descriptor Blocks:
* 10.2.4.2, from 10.244.1.2, 00:09:05 ago, via Serial1/0.605
Route metric is 138, traffic share count is 1
10.2.3.1, from 10.244.1.2, 00:09:05 ago, via Serial1/0.609
Route metric is 138, traffic share count is 1
also for Homburg lo0 10.244.1.4
Porkpie# show ip route 10.244.1.4
Routing entry for 10.244.1.4/32
Known via "ospf 1", distance 110, metric 129, type intra area
Last update from 10.2.3.1 on Serial1/0.609, 00:09:18 ago
Routing Descriptor Blocks:

* 10.2.3.1, from 10.244.1.2, 00:09:18 ago, via Serial1/0.609
Route metric is 129, traffic share count is 1
for multicast routing, it is also unable to identify the incoming interface for the multicast group.

th
PIM neighbor table shows that PIM is established between the two routers, but the problem is the returning packets back to 10.244.2.1 since Porkpie when returning the multicast packet back to Homburg, is using its unicast routing table to reach 10.244.2.1 via serial interfaces and not the tunnel this is due to tunnel0 is in passive-mode. so when the packets from 10.1.1.88 arrive on the tunnel interface the RPF check fails.

SOLUTION:
adding a static multicast route @ porkpie will solve this return multicast traffic.
ip mroute 10.244.1.4 255.255.255.255 Tunnel0
ip mroute 10.1.1.88 255.255.255.255 Tunnel0
after adding the static mroute command
