Hi Jeff,

I have seen four R&S labs, and I can honestly say that I thought they were
all very well written. Cisco evidently puts a lot of time and thought into
them. When I saw something I thought was vague, I was able to get it cleared
up by the proctor - try that route before spending too much time looking for
a missing option. When presenting my question to the proctor, I often got
the answer that I was "thinking too hard". In other words, the meaining is
usually fairly straightforward.

for the CCIE LAB you must know all three."

and scenario. Now, I know a little Cisco-ese, enough to find the freesnacks
breakroom, but it seems like most "example" labs I've tried contradict
themselves. Like saying no static routes and then seeing a static mroute in
configuration answers, or defining Policy Routing as any source-based
traffic manipulation and then using tunneling to overcome another
restriction, or tip toeing around the ol' 0.0.0.0 advertisement
restriction--justified because it was produced as a side-affect of another
method..... Anyway, that is probably my biggest concern at this point,
queueing in on the one or two tag words that are supposed kick my brain into
the right type of configuration. I don't want to be sitting there digging
through the CD (wasting prescious time) looking for that 3rd way (that may
or may not exist) because I believe that it can't be done in the ways I know
due to the interpretive restrictions.
