James,
I don't have a 12.1 router to test this. but good to know
rip DB is available after 12.1.
As for the connected routes getting redis'd by rip, I have
an opposite example for this.
if you define a static route ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 ser0
on a router that is running rip, the rip redist process will
pick it up from routing table and propagate out even if you
don't have redist static under your router rip process.
