Hi,

so you mean if I have my (OSPF) routers and customer routers on the same
broadcast network? Ah no, we don't have that. That way madness lies.
;)

I would *hope* that people that have this kind of setup also enable
MD5 because otherwise what would customers prevent from just joining
the OSPF area anyway... but perhaps I'm overly optimistic.

Regards

Sebastian
