I considered this, but I think there's a difference between trusting one of the 
systems on the network, versus the network as a whole.  For example, as long as 
the MCMember records from the end nodes mesh with MulticastForwarding tables on 
the switches, then we may be okay.

Also, the MCMember records carry both the MGID and MLID, so what more would you 
need?
