Yes, Windows Server 2003 does support multicasting. See the online Help
under RRAS or go here:

I would agree that multicasting is the best, more efficient, and most
practical way to transmit data to large numbers of internet clients. But
there are a number of hardware vendors (Cisco, Nortel, etc...) who will
claim that their equipment is the best. :-)
