[c-nsp] OSPF NSSA Question

[Brian Feeny]

Well, just make sure you plan things well.

Don't forget that whole thing about all iBGP neighbors being meshed.  
With a 100 or so access routers (not sure how many you have), you will 
most certainly want to deploy RR's or Confederations, having to add a 
neighbor statement to 100 access routers every time you added a new one 
would really suck.
