[j-nsp] OSPF Sham link question [SOLVED]

  And for any Juniper folks listening in, I wanted to point out that
the example config shown in the 8.5 docs at juniper.net on configuring
sham links (see URL below) doesn't actually tell you to include the
loopback IPs in the OSPF config...which is obviously a requirement if
you want a sham link to come up:
