You're basically expecting to be able to convert unicast traffic into multicast 
(unicast means one device sending IP to one other device, multicast means one 
device sending IP to many devices) and although this may be possible, it's (a) 
not automatic, and (b) not something that FreeSwitch will do for you, to the 
best of my knowledge.

Late in 1972 President Richard Nixon announced that the rate of increase of 
inflation was decreasing.   This was the first time a sitting president used a 
third derivative to advance his case for re-election.
