IPexpert RIP lab 8

This question has been touched on in the archives but I can't seem to find a
final answer.

The RIP lab 8 of the v4.0 IPexpert workbook asks to use diffferent
authentication keys between 3 routers on a FR multipoint network. This can be
done using the config below and it seems to work - full connectivity etc. When
you check the sample solution - they use some crazy policy routing to direct
the updates and I can't see why.

The only thing I can think of is that they use the same unnumbered address so
the core will send updates for R5 to R6 and vice versa - which is ineffecient.

Thanks
