Yes, and they are unnecessary, and have been as far back as I'm aware,
which is IOS 11.x-12.x, including a few that I just sanity tested so I
wouldn't look like an idiot sending out this mail :-) I haven't tested
any old 10.3 routers.
IOS does in fact behave as I've described, without extra effort, and I
doubt it would be too hard for any other leading favorite vendor to
incorporate this most logical behavior (Greg?) :-)
If anyone can prove this wrong, chime in; otherwise I'd like to see
Rob's fine documents continue to improve with time.
Cheers,
-Lane
