DLSW questions

I've been going through the archives and docs but haven't found what I'm
looking for (basically, a confirmation that my understand of dlsw is
correct). Example:

token 0 --R1----R2(B)---(B)R3---R4---token 0
ether 0

- Router 1 has ethernet 0 and token right 0
- Routers 2 and 3 are border peers
- I configured a "icanreach" for a host on E0 with mac 8888.8888.8888,
which after the bitswap, would be configured as 1111.1111.1111. This
appears to be the correct procedures from what I've read elsewhere and in
the archives
 - I can see the icanreach for 1111.1111.1111 on R2 when I do "show dlsw
reach" or "show dlsw capabilities.
- I don't see the icanreach for 1111.1111.1111 on R3 and my understanding
this is correct behavior since I don't have a remote-peer statement
between R1 and R3 (since R2 and R3 are border peers).

My understanding is R3 and R4 shouldn't see the "icanreach" for
1111.1111.1111. R4 would send out an explorer, R3 would forward it to R2,
and R2 would respond that he can reach 1111.1111.1111 (in a nutshell). Is
that correct?

Thx,
