RE: dlsw - mac reachability

With the DLSW icanreach, since it tells the peer it has connectivity to the
mac, there is no need for the peer to send out explorer traffic for that
node.

The command you chose only establishes connectivity to the destination when
an explorer is sent for that mac address. Any other explorers that might be
sent for other mac-addresses would not use that particular configured peer
(in the case of multiple remote peers it is a way of telling which peer to
use depending on destination mac I guess)

This is my understanding.
