[j-nsp] IP PIM splitting rules and MPLS Layer 3 VPN

Hi,

PIM considers source of multicast to perform load splitting when the command
"ip multicast multipath" is entered. When using multicast over L3 MPLS VPN,
the source IP is the IP of PEx for any customer group connected to PEx.
Any way to overcome this limitation and achieve load splitting of multicast
over L3 MPLS VPN?

For example, consider this scenario:

 Sender for group G1 and G2---CE1-----PE1-----P1-----PE2----CE2----receiver
of G1 and G2
                                       |                           |
                                       |_______P2______|

The goal is having one group, G1, taking path PE1--P1--PE2 and G2 taking
path PE1--P2--PE2.
(but without using GRE encapsulation to have multicast encapsulated into
unicast)

Thanks,
Alaerte
