[c-nsp] netflow on native 6509

Since I have written this, I spent about 5 hours experimenting.

I have found the following:

If you enable mls nde with:

mls flow ip interface-full
mls nde sender version 5
mls nde interface
ip flow-export version 5 origin-as
ip flow-export destination [collector] [port]

every flow across every interface will be sent to the collector.

HOWEVER, once you enter this global command:

mls sampling packet-based x y

No flows, I repeat, NO FLOWS are sent to the collector. I tested this 
extensively.

As soon as you enter the following on an interface:

interface Blah4/5
  mls netflow sampling

Sampled netflow, at the rate defined in the global command, begins to flow 
to the collector, ONLY FOR THE INTERFACES enabled on. And, only in the 
inbound aspect.

Anyone else confirm this behavior?
