Yeah this is very interesting indeed.  I am not an expert when it comes to
matters of redundant routing engine operations - let me ask you a question,
when the Primary RE fails, does everything resume properly on the backup? Do
you see adjacencies reforming, or is it seamless?  Hopefully this is
non-production so you can play with it a bit...
