    Disable validation of source addresses refers to "no
validate-update-source" documented further down on the same link's page. It
disables validating the source address for rip and other routing (not routed
as stated) protocols. Probably has to do with the source address seen
during spoofing or something like that for DDR links. At least thats what
my research came up with.
