You cannot convert TCP to UDP or IGMP in general.
What you are asking for requires some mechanism in the application layer - e.g. some kind of proxy could do it. Note that layers above the transport layer are off-topic here, however.
If you just require a copy of the TCP segments sent to/from Server1 to listen in on the connections, that is exactly what ...

A router with multicast routing enabled will have its LAN interface configured to listen for the multicast groups it intends to serve. This is time when using a mask with multicast actually means something. Multicast groups are individual addresses, so a mask is normally meaningless, but you can use a mask to specify a range of addresses for the router, e.g. ...

Not with Multicast, I wouldn't know how.
What might help is port mirroring ("span ports", "monitor ports") as many managed switches offer them.
Within the bandwidth limits of the port you select as your egress/destination/output port , you can even monitor multiple ports (for example the switch ports of Workstations A,B and C), or you can monitor the ...

Multicast is really sent everywhere on the same LAN. Only hosts that have subscribed to the multicast group will listen to a multicast packet for that group.
Multicast has its own set of destination addresses. For IPv4, the range of multicast MAC addresses is 01:00:5e:00:00:00 to 01:00:5e:7f:ff:ff. There are 28 bits of IPv4 multicast group addresses, but ...

The first point is that sparse mode is inherently more efficient in most networks, as multicast traffic is only sent upon a station actually joining a given group. In contrast, dense mode sends all multicast traffic to all networks until a lack of a querier causes it to time out and start pruning.
In general dense mode has been deprecated in actual use ...
