I think you should be able to do it with openvpn. Using the tap setup,
you can create a OSI layer 2 tunnel, which should be able to handle
ip-multicast. You then need to update the routing tables in both
networks to send multicast traffic to the tunnel in stead of the router.
If you fully thrust the connection between the two networks, you could
disable openvpn's encryption for better performance.
