I am sitting in ECP1 with Val right now and have just gotten a great
explanation of this.
NLSP was originally designed to provide WAN transport for RIP speaking
Novell servers. From the router's perspective, connected = rip. This is why
it would automatically redistribute connected/rip into nlsp. Since nslp runs
the 'rip compatibility mode' by default, it does not show up on the configs.
It is as though you really have:
ipx router nlsp
redistribute rip [invisible]
redistribute connected [invisible]
It is recommended that you disable this (along with sap) on the interfaces
with:
ipx nlsp rip off
ipx nlsp sap off
Hope that helps.

Fred/John
This thread is from a while back, but I would be interested in your
conclusions.
In my lab as well, I am finding that NLSP automatically redistributes
connected interfaces. irrespective of disabling RIP. Is this the expected
behavior ?
Cheers
Mark
