OSPF Retransmissions

Hey Group,

Has anybody seen a problem where you have ip ospf network
point-to-multipoint enabled (with OSPF neighbor statements) on an
interface that is actually in an ethernet broadcast segment and get the
error to many DBD retransmitions. The problem eventually solved itself
after many hours (after giving up on it) and all the neighbor
relationships came up but of course, that is unsat. The problem we
think it might be is that it is multicasting and unicasting out to its
neighbors at the same time and it might be causing problems. Seen a few
threads online where adding the non-broadcast keyword to the network
type actually fixed this problem. Would you agree to this or know of
any documentation that states this issue and the reason behind it.
Thanks for your help! Let me know if you have any questions.
