My router "forgets" the link between the IP and MAC because the router flushes the ARP table or the dynamic ARP entry is wiped from the router's ARP table a few minutes after I turn off the computer.
To resolve just forward the port on the router (Port 32767 if for DSLR) to IP 192.168.0.255, provided it operates in this IP range.
Mulicast IPs should be hard coded in the ARP table of the routers. The WOL packet would then be passed to all nodes behind the router but the speficied MAC address would be the one to wake up.
