[infinispan-dev] Multicast routing on Max OS X

I added some bits of advice for configuration of IP multicast routes on 
Mac OS X.

This is probably only of concern to those who want to bind to the 
loopback device (127.0.0.1) and multicast locally, e.g. for running the 
test suite.

It is beyond me why a node cannot bind to 127.0.0.1 and use the default 
route (0.0.0.0) for multicasting, e.g. if no multicast route has been 
defined). This works perfectly on other operating systems. If you know, 
please share the solution; then [1] would not be needed...

See [1] for details.
