(Hopefully the formatting doesnt get killed by hotmail.)

Yes - R1 has 3 "active" ospf+mpls connections (one to R2, and two to R3)

R3 has 2 links to R1, both of which work without issue, and respond to 224.0.0.5 when pinging from R3:

>From "R3"
#ping 224.0.0.5
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 1, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 224.0.0.5, timeout is 2 seconds:
Reply to request 0 from xxx.xxx.66.237, 8 ms
Reply to request 0 from xxx.xxx.66.173, 8 ms
(Note, Ive removed "other" replies..R3 has other ospf neighbours also)

(i.e. no need for non-broadcast or neighbor statements to form adjacencies)

sh ip ospf 100 int is stating that portchan1.87 is active

#sh ip ospf 100 interface 
Port-channel1.87 is up, line protocol is up 

(It has an active adj via this link atm as I have it configured with non-broadcast and neighbour statement in ospf 100)

Unless there is some other test I can use to confirm portchan1.87 is indeed communicating on 224.0.0.5?

Thanks again for your assistance.
