There seemed to be a disagreement on using ip rip
neighbor statements and blocking broadcasts so I tried
it out myself. Here's the results:

- rip v1 and no neighbor statement: sent to
255.255.255.255
- rip v1 and neighbor statement: sent to
255.255.255.255 and unicast to the neighbor also
- rip v1 and neighbor and passive-interface: no worky
(technical term of the day)
- rip v2 and no neighbor: sent to 224.0.0.9
- rip v2 and neighbor: sent to 224.0.0.9 and unicast
to neighbor
- rip v2 and neighbor and passive-interface: no worky

so if the requirement is to turn off ipx traffic being
broadcast out you need to use ripv2, which uses
multicast, not broadcast.
