Hi David,
No, it is not an external LSA.
I am going to raise a call to Cisco as I think the issue maybe related to
IOS. One of our customers
on a previous version of IOS has the correct entries as I would expect to
see in the routing table and OSPF
database.
My simple test network pretty much follows the customers network anyway.
Thanks for your input though.
regards, Ian

Depends on your topology. What do you mean by destination? Is this an
external lsa?
OSPF is a link state protocol. If you have an adjacency to a neighbor over
two equal cost paths, and that neighbor is advertising an external lsa,
there may well only be one lsa in the link state database, but two paths to
the router advertising that link state.
Dave.
