Hi Brian ,

I think there is catch here . Under this circumstances you will two routes

1) One is a connected route for 172.242.246.208/29
2) Second route will for 170.242.246.212/32

Pls. note : Connected route might be having least admin distance but in case
you have more specific route you will still find the route getting installed
in the Routing table .

Thanks and Regards
Arun
