All correct. *Except*, that the original poster made all the interface
costs to be the same. So basically, the metric acts just like hop counts.
And while load balancing works across 4 links (w/o using maximum-paths),
the route-cache (fast processing) makes the router use one link for a
particular destination. This isn't unique to OSPF, it's just the way fast
processing works (w/o using CEF etc.)
