Frame-relay mystery

Hi friends,

I have a little confusion in a very simple FR setup (hub & spoke topology)... all 3
are in OSPF (not that I think it would have any affect on this ;)

R3 R5
  \ /
   R1

IP Addressing:

R1 - 137.20.101.1/24
R3 - 137.20.101.3/24
R5 - 137.20.101.5/24

I don't understand that even if each of my spoke ONLY has a frame-relay map ip
statement pointing to the hub (R1), that they somehow can still managed to ping each
other!!!

On R1 (hub)

R1#sh run
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 1868 bytes
!
interface Serial0/0
 no ip address
 encapsulation frame-relay
 no ip mroute-cache
 no fair-queue
!
interface Serial0/0.1 multipoint
 ip address 137.20.101.1 255.255.255.0
 ip access-group blockR6 in
 ip ospf network point-to-multipoint
 frame-relay map ip 137.20.101.3 103 broadcast
 frame-relay map ip 137.20.101.5 105 broadcast
 no frame-relay inverse-arp
!
end

On R3 (spoke)

interface Serial0
 ip address 137.20.101.3 255.255.255.0
 encapsulation frame-relay
 ip ospf network point-to-multipoint
 no ip mroute-cache
 frame-relay map ip 137.20.101.1 301 broadcast
 no frame-relay inverse-arp
 bridge-group 1
end

On R5 (other spoke)

R5#sh run
Building configuration...

!
interface Serial0
 ip address 137.20.101.5 255.255.255.0
 encapsulation frame-relay
 ip ospf network point-to-multipoint
 no fair-queue
 clockrate 64000
 frame-relay map ip 137.20.101.1 501 broadcast
 no frame-relay inverse-arp
!
end

R3#ping 137.20.101.5

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 137.20.101.5, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 116/118/128 ms
R3#

R5#ping 137.20.101.3

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 137.20.101.3, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 116/138/220 ms
R5#

Yet, I was expecting that the spoke, without the additional frame-relay map ip
statement pointing with each other, should not be able to ping each other... (apart
from able to ping the hub).

Anyone has any clue on this?

L.
