You can configure bidirectional mode with BSR as well...
Router(config)# ip pim rp-candidate type number [group-list access-list] bidir

I can't speak for BSR, as I don't remember trying it, even though I am
sure it would work, with auto-rp bidir PIM can work. All you have to do
is when your announce RP for a certain group range is to say bidir in
the end and the groups will become bidirectional. I've never explored
it to the depth, but I have done labs where I experimented with it and
go ping results.

One thing I haven't fully figured out yet, is when would be a good
scenario to enable it and be able to get around some of the issues, like
being able to a certain interface be both in incoming and outgoing
interface list.

Anyone else?

Do I correctly understand that the only way to run bidir PIM is to
STATICALLY
configure the RP (with ip pim bidir-enable and ip pim rp-address
rp-address
[access-list] [override] [bidir] )? In other words, are auto-rp/bsr and
bidir
mutually exclusive?
