How to multicast on different IP network

Hi, there
On HP-UX, I want to multicast packets on two different IP network repectively.
The two NIC are configured with two different IP. The routes are added with one default and one net for each IP . The multisender programs bind their own local IP, multireceiver programs add the membership with the same multicast address but different port and interface(IP). Normally, the pair of sender and receiver works correctly. When we pull out the network wired that the default route is configured, the multicast packets can not received on two network. However, when we pull out the network wired that do not configured default route, the packets can still be received with the two multireceiver, at this time, one of the IP can not pinged.
So the above test makes the following results:
1. The multicast has nothing to do with the local IP address, it only cares about the multicast address and port
2. The default route decides the multicast packets whether they can send out.

My question is how I can multicast the packets on the different IP network respectively. Once one of the network failed or its wired is pull out, the other network can still multicast normally. That means how I can implementate the dual network multiucasting,thanks.

NAME
routes - Specifies Internet routing information to the routing tables SYNOPSIS
/etc/routes DESCRIPTION
Static routes can be defined in the /etc/routes file. The /etc/routes file identifies static routes that are automatically added to the network routing tables with the /usr/sbin/route add command. The /sbin/init.d/route script contains the /usr/sbin/route add command that is executed for each entry in the /etc/routes file when the network is restarted on the system or the system is rebooted. The general format of an entry in the /etc/routes file is: Dest Name1 Name2 The following is a brief description of each element in an /etc/routes file entry: A keyword that indicates whether the route is to a net- work or to a host. The two possible keywords are -net and -host. The name or address of the destination network or host. Name1 can be either a symbolic name (as used in the /etc/hosts or /etc/networks file) or an Internet address specified in dotted-decimal format. The name or address of the gateway host to which messages should be forwarded. Name2 can be either a symbolic name (as used in the /etc/hosts file) or an Internet address specified in dotted-decimal format. The routes file is a Context-Dependent Symbolic Link (CDSL) and must be maintained as such. See the System Administration manual for more information. EXAMPLES
To specify a route to a network through a gateway host with an entry in the /etc/routes file, enter: -net net2 host4 This example specifies a route to a network, net2, through the gateway host4. To specify a route to a host through a gateway host with an entry in the /etc/routes file, enter: -host host2 host4 This example specifies a route to a host, host2, through the gateway host4. To specify a route to a default gateway host with an entry in the /etc/routes file, enter: default 130.9.0.5 This example specifies a route to a default gateway with an Internet address of 130.9.0.5.

Contains the /usr/sbin/routed add command. RELATED INFORMATION
