Understood. You have the config:

layer3 -- layer2 -- (...) -- layer2 -- layer3

...and the multicast needs to pass between the layer3 devices.

The layer3 devices are using PIM to speak to each other, yes?

In which case, you need PIM snooping on the layer2 devices.

What are the layer2 devices? How many are there? Who runs them?

I'm sorry, I don't understand you.

RGMP and CGMP are different things, which serve different purposes.

I'm sorry, I don't understand. That configuration cannot possibly work.

Can you give a more detailed configuration?

I've never used IGMP proxy on a cisco, and upon examination it looks 
like it might be a different feature than I thought - the docs seem to 
link it to unidirectional tunnels.

You really need PIM snooping.
