Perhaps. Ask the proctor. This situation came up in my lab (no, I won't
give the specifics, don't ask!) I asked if it was OK to cause a requirement
in one early section to break in order to complete a later one, and was told
yes, that it was expected.

Ummm... I don't think that this would be similar to my scenario. If there
is a way to have both your OSPF and F/R work as required (and there probably
is, and it's probably obscure and/or ugly), you need to do it. This is one
example where reading the whole test through once before plunging in is a
good idea.

"Ms. Proctor, I have X working as required, using technique A. I intend to
do Y this way, but that would cause requirement X.1 to break. Is this OK?"
