RE: EIGRP Stub

I think the issue here is that the whole point of setting the stub flag
in EIGRP Hellos is to tell your neighbors that you don't want to receive
queries (i.e., you have no alternate paths to networks that you're not
advertising directly). If a hub router has multiple neighbors on a
multi-access interface and not all of them are stubs, it *must* send
queries on that interface to support the non-stub neighbors. Thus, the
stub is going to receive those multicast queries on the multi-access
interface whether it wants to or not.
