Now *that* brings me to another favourite soapbox rant :-) - why oh why
is "tag" not supported on connected routes?

(Along with "why is there no way to make HSRP-slave interfaces really 
passive, not showing up in the local FIB and in 'redist connected' 
etc?"...  none of this is "my network will stop working if I can't have
that!" critical, but it would save oh so many workarounds).
