Multicast ping

Group,
Should I be able to consistently ping a multicast address from a cat5? I am
running dense-mode on an Ethernet segment with 2 routers. I have cgmp
enabled on the cat5, I have an ip igmp join group 224.8.8.8 on the ethernet
port of one of the routers. Should I be able to ping 224.8.8.8
consistently. The first ping is successful and it creates a static cam for
the multicast mac address, but the subsequent pings fail until the static
cam disappears again. Then it works again for one try.

Any ideas?
