That would be very true, except for the fact that I'm aware of the lab that
he's working on, and ACLs aren't allowed.

So, the problem is intended to appear to highlight the problem, and the
intended solution would be to work around it.

Sooo... Yup, very good point that once you recognize it, you should make it
go away ahead of time. But every once and a while you aren't allowed to do
the "normal" things to make that so simple.

Scott,

        If you want to recognize the problem, then alleviate it, why would
you even advertise the tunnel destination into the protocol running over the
tunnel? :) There is never a valid case where the tunnel destination can be
routed via the tunnel, so why go out of the way to fix a problem that
shouldn't exist in the first place?
