I configured the kernel but ping to 226.94.1.1 would not get response

Responded. If I did ping -I eth1 226.94.1.1 all nodes in the multicast
Group on eth1 responded. The ip_forward flag in proc was set to 1
And IP multicast routing and IP tunneling was set. I even installed
Mrouted but same result. I did not the Cisco PIM protocol which needs
Pimd.

What should the routing table on the router look like :
( unicast routing worked fine ).
224.0.0.0    0.0.0.0        255.255.255.255 eth0
224.0.0.0    0.0.0.0        255.255.255.255 eth1
134.134.19.0 0.0.0.0        255.255.255.0   eth0
192.168.0.0  0.0.0.0        255.255.255.0   eth1
0.0.0.0      134.134.19.251 255.255.255.255 eth0
0.0.0.0      192.168.0.1    255.255.255.255 eth1 

OR 
226.94.1.1   0.0.0.0     255.255.255.255  eth0
226.94.1.1   0.0.0.0     255.255.255.255  eth1
( rest being same as above ).

Any tips on how to configure it correctly ?

Thanks,
