The IOS on that switch doesn't seem to support ip multicast routing and I tried to find one that does (I had to upgrade the switch the servers are connected to). Does the 2960 not support multicast routing? All other switches involved see pim neighbors now.

The 2960 is a L2 switch.  It can't do unicast routing either...

The catch with L2 switches is that they're likely to flood all multicast
to all ports (as if it were broadcast) unless the support PIM snooping to
understand "what goes where".

the previous 5 articles in full, adding new text on top of it - all of us
have seen all of the previous mails as well.
