I'm not sure but I believe that now the default is multicast. And if
so, the problem can be in the switch not letting igmp version packages
pass through.

I had this problem when deploying a RHEL5 cluster in a environment
using Cisco switches. Since I didn't have access to the switches
configuration, the workaround was to force my Linux boxes speaks igmp
version 2. You can try this on your boxes. Edit /etc/sysctl.conf e put
a line like this:

net.ipv4.conf.all.force_igmp_version = 2

And issue a "sysctl -p" or reboot your boxes.
