Question: How does someone who hasn't taken the lab recently recognize a "lab question"?
Really, you're more guilty of an NDA vioalation than the person who asked the offending question is. Courtesy of your little rant, I now know that within the last 50 or so posts there is a question that was on somebody's lab. Before your rant, I would have just dismissed it as a regular question. In fact, I hadn't even been reading any posts on the list today and I just happened to notice yours (possibly because of the title in ALL CAPS).
I don't know what the position of the moderators is on this, but it seems like the best thing to do if you see someone posting questions from a lab you took is to ignore it, or take it up with the person privately. Posting to the list removes any doubt.
One other thing - there is no stipulation in the NDA (to my knowledge) that says a candidate can't ask how to do a task on his or her lab, so long as he/she doesn't say "This was on my lab." I think if you change the question to involve different IP addresses and/or a different topology but still ask a question on the same topology, you're in the clear. Apply the pinciple ad nauseam: My lab (may have) required me to redistribute OSPF into RIP. Am I not allowed to ask the list how to do that?
