I had a similar problem with multicast addresses. I talked with bertl
about it, too. I have two vservers needing multicast on the same host.
One uses mt-daapd+avahi and the other is a UPNP server running
mediatomb. I was able to sniff the traffic of these applications and
determine which mutlicast addresses I needed to assign to each vserver
to get the applications working. I can't guarantee this will work for
you though.

For mt-daapd/avahi I created the following:

interfaces/1/ip : 224.0.0.251
interfaces/1/prefix: 24
interfaces/1/nodev

For UPNP/mediatomb I created:

interfaces/1/ip: 239.255.255.250
interfaces/1/prefix: 24
interfaces/1/nodev

Hope this helps you, or someone else!
