One potential work-around is a patch to
net/ipv4/igmp.c:ip_mc_join_group.
For example:
#ifdef DUAL_MCAST_BIND
if(!imr->imr_ifindex) {
imr->ifindex=2; /* eth0 */
err=ip_mc_join_group(sk, imr);
if (!err) {
imr->ifindex=3; /* eth1 */
err=ip_mc_join_group(sk, imr);
}
return err;
}
#else
if(!imr->imr_ifindex)
in_dev = ip_mc_find_dev(imr);
#endif
I'm hoping that there is another way.

I have seen this problem when trying to use an NTP server to multicast
to two ethernets. Unfortunately, NTP's output would only send to one of
the networks (eth0).
I never did find a workaround.
