Robert and Scott,
Thanks for the info. I was going down that same track,
except I was not considering multipath in terms of
nexthop as I should have. I was mostly blinding my
thoughts with nexthops, but only single path. This is
now clear...I appreciate your assistance. BTW, I will
simulate the same in my lab sometime next week and let
you all know if any deviations from what Robert and
Scott have advised....I really dont think things will
be any differant though.
Thanks again,
Mark 'Milo' Forest
