RE: [nsp] OSPF not distributing 1 interface

I just shudder at the fact that people are even thinking about using
'redist connected' as an option to get routes associated with connected
interfaces into OSPF. Bug or not, I've never been in a situation where I
had to result to using this approach. In large networks (since this is
the nsp mailing list) it's an evil command and really can't think of a
sane config that requires its use where there wasn't a better way of
getting those interfaces into your igp.

I'd be quite happy if csco got rid of it...

Thanks,

Chris
